Task families
Work in progress
Certain tasks are very similar to others in terms of implementation. As such, we’ve categorized them into families to simplify creation and maintenance.
Family | Task types | Characteristics | Kevin’s Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Generic |
| The general characteristics of a task including the notes are sufficient to effectively describe this task. | Quantity / customer etc. is handled on finances for this release. |
Category + Notes |
| This task family can be described by choosing a category and adding notes. These categories are stored on the back-end. | Scout doesn’t need action needed. |
Basic input(s) + Notes |
| This task family can be satisfied by entering 1+ input fields. | |
Organic input |
| Each of these task types can use products that are inputs into organic certification (specifically Record I for iCertify). As such, they’ll display differently for users seeking organic certification than those not seeking certification. For certification seekers, we’ll collect information on the product, supplier, and organic status. | |
