Select the Engineering Control button to open the Engineering Task Card Control Window. Task Cards can be attached to E/Cs, so that when an E/C is added to a Work Order the Task Cards are also copied into the Work Order. This window illustrates which E/Cs this Task Card is attached to, and allows the user to attach this Task Card to other E/Cs.

The following information/options are available in this window:
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Task Card

The Task Card / Job Card that details the scheduled maintenance work.

Link To

Whether the Task Card is linked to a Task Card or E/C.

E/C

The Engineering Control that specifies aircraft or component scheduled maintenance intervals.

Item (0 = ALL)

The specific item number on the Task Card that this record is to be associated with. Leave default '0' to have this record associated with all item numbers on the Task Card.

Identifier

When a user saves, deletes or re-sequences, a history is added to the audit table and a new Identifier number is assigned to the Task Card for revision tracking purposes.

Applicable Aircraft

Enter an aircraft if it is the sole effective aircraft, leave blank for all.

Sort Order

Allows the user to specify the order that the E/C's Task Cards will be sorted in. These sequence numbers are sorted according to their numeric values.

Group/Sub Group

Grouping and Sub-Grouping allows for the automatic creation of Work Orders for Task Cards that share the same E/C.

Note: Refer to Switch ECTCLINK for additional information regarding associating E/Cs to Task Cards.

If the Task Card is 'Pending Authorization', an error indicating that the E/C is not authorized will appear.

To associate the E/C to a Task Card "Pending Authorization," it must be done through Engineering Authorization Management or Task Card Authorization Management while either are pending authorization depending on the configuration of Switch ECTCLINK.

Additionally, relevant information can be entered through the Notes button. Past information related to the record can be viewed through the (T/C) Engineering Task Card Control, Informational tab and the Audit button.
