The Task Sequence editor allows you to edit a task sequence that you can run in the network and control.
The Task Sequence editor is displayed when you open a Task Sequence object from the Task Sequence Group in the explorer tree.
The editor allows you to create a sequence of tasks related to import and update, geometry and connectivity, demand allocation, export, scripts and SQL, and validation. These tasks can be edited, moved up or down, and deleted.
You can insert a task by clicking the Insert Task button, or by dragging a supported object from the explorer tree.
Clicking a task in the editor allows you to modify the parameters for each task according to your requirements.
Clicking the Run all tasks or Run selected tasks button will run the tasks in sequence to the network/control. Alternatively, dragging the Task Sequence object onto a network will apply the tasks in sequence to the network/control.
After running the task sequence, an amalgamated log from each step is shown.
