TASKS

Importance of completing tasks:

 If the tasks are not completed (i.e. charted) in a timely manner, they go into an “overdue” status on the task list.  Tasks are controlled by retention time, which is the amount of time that an uncharted active task will remain on the task list.  Once a task has met its defined retention time, the status updates to “ dropped ” which means:  The task is no longer viewable and cannot be charted  A task “dropping” will not then update the order status and will leave an uncompleted order on the profile that must be cancelled  “Dropped” tasks will slow the speed of the system
