About this task

If you set the template type of a work plan to Task plan template, you can link its planned work schedules with task plan templates. For more information, see Create a work plan.

When the conditions specified in the Planned Work Schedule Task Template are met, tasks, cases, or incidents are created based on the defined task plan templates.

For example, to meet the monthly audit requirement of inspecting multiple stores of the same organization simultaneously, you need to create individual planned work schedules for each audit. Link each schedule to a different task plan template. Include relevant conditions in each Planned Work Schedule Task Template to ensure the correct template is applied when generating tasks specific to each audit.
