Work and the Work Window

At the core of Manifest’s suite of features is Work. Work is an umbrella term used to refer to both Jobs and Tasks. Manifest enables you to replicate and follow step-by-step procedures using Jobs, or to create and track Tasks required to resolve issues or coordinate necessary to-do’s, such as ordering parts for a repair.

The Work Window is the central hub for Work-related activity within Manifest. It allows you to view, navigate, create, manage, and/or assign all available work on your domain. In the following sections you’ll find the knowledge and tools necessary to set you on a path to success in Manifest.

Work Types

There are two types of Work available in Manifest – Jobs and Tasks.  

  •  Jobs: A Job is a procedure performed using the Manifest application by following a set of step-by-step instructions previously authored as a Template
  •  Tasks: Tasks are free-form Work items that fall outside the parameters of a set Template and allow users to impart important to-do information via an assignable medium within Manifest, either on-the-fly during a Job or directly from the Main Menu
