Tasks imported via the farmpilot portal or the FMIS which have not yet been started Paused tasks B Paused tasks are tasks which have been interrupted and not fully completed A task will be paused automatically if another task is started while the first task is still in progress Paused tasks are terminaled in the farmpilot portal as not yet completed Started tasks B Started tasks are tasks that have been started and are currently being processed Stopped tasks B Stopped tasks are tasks that have been stopped As a rule these are tasks which have been completed However the system is not capable of verifying whether the tasks have been fully completed Therefore only stop a task if you have completed it Stopped tasks are terminaled as completed tasks in the farmpilot portal Tasks processed by the Master M Appears only in cooperation with the farmpilot portal All tasks processed by the fleet leader Master will be labeled as such Every time the Master starts to process a new task you will be notified by a pop up window 30302436 02 EN V2 20141016 11 Basics MULLER ELEKTRONIK Taking care of your ISO XML master data 1 6 3 Task data screen The Task Data screen contains all information about the task you selected The Task data screen will be terminaled when you select or create a task on the Task list screen You can identify the Task data screen by this icon You will find the2.
