Task flow templates are used to drive projects in FactoryLogix. Project administrators typically set up tasks and sub-tasks to create a consistent task hierarchy for factory projects. Tasks and sub-tasks can take many forms depending on your project requirements and goals. The system is flexible; when you modify a task flow template, the changes are added automatically to any projects using the template.
