Populate the Duplicate Task window using the parameters described in the table below and click the Submit button when complete.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Work Structures | Select values for levels 1-7 of the Work Structures according to the defined Work Structures for your specific project |
| Team / Member | Team and member who will own and complete the task |
| Description | Start the description of the task activity with a verb such as ‘Install,’ ‘Develop,’ ‘Formulate,’ ‘Fabricate,’ Approve,’ etc. Task description should be specific and a measurable quantity, no greater than the Planning Horizon (e.g., one day, one week, etc.) Level of detail should represent measurable hand-off to the successor activity |
| Master Level Milestone | If the milestone is a “Major Milestone” that will be used to measure progress in the Analytics reports, check the Master Level Milestone box |
| Duration | Proposed time task will take to complete |
| Workdays Only | Check ‘Workdays Only’ if the task will only be completed during the workweek |
| Forecast Start | Default is based on a ‘Continuous’ Workflow; other options are used when tasks need to start at a different point than anticipated (see section Task Dates for more information) |

| Priority | Default set as ‘Normal,’ other options include ‘Low and ‘High’ |
The new duplicate task appears and has the same workflow logic as the original task from which it was duplicated.
