CHAPTER 8 BASIC TASKBUILDER FUNCTIONS

Note

Importing from a Translator Service or from a file will automatically overwrite any
task of the same name that exists in TaskBuilder. This cannot be undone.

When you’ve finished importing tasks, click Done and the sub-window will close.

Working with Multiple Tasks

TaskBuilder allows any number of tasks to be open at one time. You can open a new task

using Task Manager and it will appear with its own tab. To switch between open tasks, click

the task’s tab below the main task screen. To close a currently open task, right-click on the

tab and select Close Task from the menu.

Adding Components to a Task

To add a component to an open task, find the desired component in the component list and

use your mouse to drag it to the task window. The component will then appear on the task

window in the desired location, where it can be edited, moved or deleted.

Adding Actions to a Task

To add an action to an open task, first select the button on the Mode toolbar. Clicking on

a component while in this mode will put a gray box around the start component and a green

box around all possible end components. Use your mouse to drag from the start component

to the end component.

Below is a list of actions allowed in Task Builder:

individual actions with different properties. The individual actions will be executed

separately.
