 Go to Task – This action allows a user to call the designated task that will execute the proper actions.
 End Task – This action is located at the bottom of the task by default and cannot be edited. This action will exit the current task and return to the Task where the “Go to Task” action was executed.
 Stop Task - This action will immediately stop the script and requires manual restart if needed.
 Import Tasks – This action is located in the File menu under “Project” and “Import” Then “Import Task.” It is used when you need to copy a task from a script and use it in another script you are working on. This action reduces the need to create multiple actions to run the same process on different scripts.
 Add – Located under File menu “Project” then “Tasks” this action allows you to add a new Task to the current script.
 Edit - Located under File menu “Project” then “Tasks” this action allows you to Edit the Name and the description of the Task that is in focus under the “Tasks” section side bar.
 Delete – Located under File menu “Project” then “Tasks” this action allows you to Delete the currently Highlighted Task in the “Tasks” section side bar.
 Duplicate - Located under File menu “Project” then “Tasks” this action allows you to copy and paste the currently highlighted Task and will rename it with “Copy of” before the name.
 Set as Startup - Located under File menu “Project” then “Tasks” this action allows you to Change the Startup task to another task that was imported or newly created. You can visually locate the Startup task because it is bold in the Tasks list. The Startup task is the Task that will come into focus when the script is opened. Thus, if Automating FoxtrotOne to open a specific script the Startup Script will be the first to run.
Example of using Tasks:
If an error message on the screen appears, the script needs to execute a set of 15 actions to correct the error and get the application’s screen back to ready status. In FoxtrotOne you would use an “If target” is found action then a “Go to Task” action, in the ‘Error handling Task’ the actions would correct the error and get the screen back to ready status. Then the script would be ready to continue with normal processing.
1. If – Target is found (which looks for the error)
2. Go to Task (actions to correct the error)
