TRAX MANUALS > Engineering > Engineering Module - T/C > Engineering - T/C, Update Menu > Task Card > Task Card Buttons > Items Button, via Task Card > Task Card Item, Skills Tab

The Task Card Item, Skills tab allows users to view the labor requirements (i.e. Skills, Man Hours, and Men Required) to complete an item on a Task Card. The labor requirements set up for items will be linked to the Task Card and will follow the Task Card wherever it goes (i.e. Work Orders, etc). The user also has the option to add new labor requirements to already existing requirements to complete a Task Card.

Note: While this topic explains how to add labor requirements to a Task Card manually, keep in mind that a default Skill can also be added to Task Cards automatically and imported into the system via the Import From OEM Load option. This option allows the user to import multiple Task Cards at once, after a Skill has already been set up. For additional information, refer to the Import From OEM Manual Button, via the TraxDoc Training Manual.

Labor requirements can also be set up on a per Work Order basis, meaning that once the item for the W/O Task Card has been completed, the the W/O Task Card Item will no longer be associated to the Task Card record from the Engineering module. This must be set up via the W/O Task Card via the Production module. For additional information, refer to the W/O Task Card Item, Skills Tab, via the Production Training manual.
