What is a Work Item?

A Work item is work that can be done in between tasks in Task Sequence or in between the task and the start/end of the shift. Add work items to task sequences only if tasks are not anchored to one another. Use the following guidelines:

• If a Work item is added before the task, it means the task is not anchored to the start of the shift or the previous task.
• If a Work item is added after the task, it means the task is not anchored to the end of the shift or the following task.
• If a Work item is not added before the task, it means the task is anchored to the start of the shift or the previous task.
• If a Work item is not added after the task, it means the task is anchored to the end of the shift or the following task.
