Use the RFP - Tasks preferences to create phase specific default tasks that need to be completed for an RFP (that is, checklist). When you add tasks here, every new RFP project added in ArchiOffice will automatically have this task added to it. Tasks are added by phase and are broken down into types. You can add customized task types. Use these settings to specify the number of hours to spend on the task and assign an employee to complete the tasks. The default project tasks created using these settings can be loaded and also customized on a project-by-project basis in the Projects - Tasks screen.
The tasks feature is available in the Professional and Enterprise editions
only.
Load Defaults
Click this link to reload the missing default tasks and task types. You will receive a warning asking if you are certain you want to replace all existing tasks and task types with the system defaults and informing you that it may affect other data if these tasks are already in use.
