Auxiliary Asset Tasks

An auxiliary task is a task that is required before or after the main task. It is a pre- or post-task that can be created and linked to a main task. These tasks are usually carried out in preparation of the main task, or they are HSSE tasks required before or after the main task is performed. For example, an electrician might need to switch off the electricity as a pre-task before the main task can be performed.

An auxiliary task does not have a scheduling component to it, so it cannot be scheduled. It is included as a task when the main task is scheduled. The Auxiliary Task Type field determines whether the auxiliary asset type task is required before or after the main asset type task.

Auxiliary asset tasks are added and managed in the same way as auxiliary asset type tasks. An asset in the asset tree inherits all the auxiliary tasks from the asset type on which it is based. An auxiliary asset task can also be added to an asset or asset component in the asset tree, to be linked to a regular asset task.
