Tasks tab

The Tasks tab is the fourth tab of the order screen. It is the task board, narrowed to the tasks of this one order. A task is a unit of work for a picker. Allocation and release make the pick tasks. The form is shipment_order_tasks_form. The data comes from the database view task_board (data object order_task).

The tab shows every column that the task board shows (checked by the test crates/services/web-ui-server/tests/shipment_order_metadata.rs, see wms-meta-ui migration 086). The grid has check boxes. Three buttons work on the ticked rows.

Source: form shipment_order_tasks_form in 001_baseline.sql, and wms-meta-ui migrations 027, 030 and 086. The task values are the types task_status and task_type and the constraint ck_task_return_kind in wms-app 001_baseline.sql.

Not confirmed by code: the exact meaning of Lease Expires, Available From, Refusals, How Returned and Pick Assignment. The names are clear, but the rules behind them live in the task manager and were not read for this page. To verify: read crates/libs/wms-tasks and the Task Board pages when they are written.

Toolbar

Button	Code	Needs	What it does
Return to Pool	sot_release	One task, status Assigned or InProgress	Takes the task from its picker and puts it back in the pool.
Reassign	sot_reassign	One task that can be reassigned (Assigned, InProgress, or escalated to a supervisor)	Gives the task to another operator.
Delete Task	sot_delete	One or more tasks	Deletes the tasks nobody has taken, and puts their picks back in reserve.

The buttons are grey until the rule is met. The grey text is Select a task that is Assigned or InProgress, Select a task that is Assigned, InProgress, or escalated to a supervisor and Select at least one task. See Working with tasks from the order.
