How are task numbers assigned?

Task numbers are unique and non-sequential identifiers within a project that can be populated from various sources.

When you create tasks from the Manage Project Plan page, the application automatically assigns task numbers. If required, you can enable the Task Number column in the Manage Project Plan page and edit the task numbers.

When you create a task from the Manage Financial Project Plan page, you must enter task numbers. Keep in mind that it's important to create and use a standard task numbering approach for financial tasks that represent charge codes.

Tip: If your organization uses a standard task numbering approach, you can update your work plan templates or project templates accordingly. This ensures that you always have standardized task numbers for your new project plans.
