Entering a new work package name creates a new work package for the tasks, or an existing work package can be selected from the dropdown list which the new tasks will be added to. Tip: If no work package is assigned during the task creation process, it can be specified later.

Review task properties before creation	Displays a property sheet for the task that is to be created. If multiple tasks are to be created, then the properties shown in the property sheet will be duplicated for the other scheduled tasks to be created. If multiple tasks are to be created and the task is being assigned to a work package, the property sheet will show the Schedule page for the work package. All tasks associated with the work package will inherit all its schedule information.

Schedule valve shut offs	Applicable to distribution networks only. This option is enabled when the following tasks are created: Pipe repair General maintenance Hydrant maintenance Meter maintenance Valve maintenance When the selected task is created, an associated valve shut off will also be created.
