Assign Structures to a Task

When creating a Task Area, you have the option of assigning structures, which means specifying properties that need to be assessed or need to receive follow-up for a particular task. Structures can be assigned to a task area in one of two ways:

  • By assigning all structures located within the task area

  • By assigning specific structures within a task area
