A task is always linked to equipment and stored in a project.  \[screen recording\] Husk settings: Loop, mute, Hide controls, auto play --- **Main Task:** A main task in inspectio collects and stores all of the task information and consists of many elements. The main task gets, calculates and stores the results from subtasks - *Task Questions.*  The main task gets all the information from the *linked equipment* and stores it in the *Equipment Receipt*. The main task gets the information from the subtasks *inspector(s)* and stores the signature(s). The main task checks for *project* *requirements.* The main task stores the *task state*.   ![Task - Task Report](https://help.inspectio.no/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshots%20-%20Portal/Task%20-%20Task%20Report.png?width=670&height=593&name=Task%20-%20Task%20Report.png) **Sub Task:** A sub task is the individual *task question* from the task template. Information stored on the subtasks is collected as a whole in the main task.       **![Task report - Sub Tasks](https://help.inspectio.no/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshots%20-%20Portal/Task%20report%20-%20Sub%20Tasks.png?width=670&height=583&name=Task%20report%20-%20Sub%20Tasks.png)** **Task Labels:** Task labels is only existing in the context of a task. Task labels on the main task enables the functionality alongside *equipment labels* to filter out *task questions.* Task labels on the sub tasks become sub labels and enables the functionality set by rules.  **Task State:** A task in inspectio can have four *states*; Not started, In progress, Completed and Discarded. Once a task is completed it needs to be re-opened for edit. The dynamic functionality of filtering subtasks is only available on tasks not completed. Changes made to equipment, project and scope will only affect those tasks unless re-opened. Once all subtasks has been given a result and the *task requirements* has been met the task can be completed. **Task Result:** Sub results is the individual results given to each *sub task*. Once the task is completed the main result is calculated. Passed = one or more sub tasks is passed, no subtasks is failed or repaired. Failed = one or more sub tasks is failed. Repaired = one or more sub tasks is repaired, no subtasks is failed.   Discard is a subtask result but also a main task state. Discarding all subtasks will change the main task state to discarded. **Related articles:**  [Configure - Task Template](https://148355988.hs-sites-eu1.com/knowledge-base/configure-task-template?hsLang=en)  [Configure - Rules](https://148355988.hs-sites-eu1.com/knowledge-base/rules?hsLang=en)   [Labels - Explained](https://148355988.hs-sites-eu1.com/knowledge-base/labels-explained?hsLang=en)  - [General](https://help.inspectio.no/knowledge-base/general?hsLang=en) - [Web portal](https://help.inspectio.no/knowledge-base/web-portal?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Company & Asset Management](https://help.inspectio.no/knowledge-base/web-portal?hsLang=en#company-asset-management) - [Models & Equipment](https://help.inspectio.no/knowledge-base/web-portal?hsLang=en#models-equipment) - [Project Management](https://help.inspectio.no/knowledge-base/web-portal?hsLang=en#project-management) - [Data & Reporting](https://help.inspectio.no/knowledge-base/web-portal?hsLang=en#data-reporting) - [Profile Management](https://help.inspectio.no/knowledge-base/web-portal?hsLang=en#profile-management) - [Mobile app](https://help.inspectio.no/knowledge-base/mobile-app?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Device Management](https://help.inspectio.no/knowledge-base/mobile-app?hsLang=en#device-management) - [Inspections](https://help.inspectio.no/knowledge-base/mobile-app?hsLang=en#inspections) - [Quick start guides](https://help.inspectio.no/knowledge-base/quick-start-guides?hsLang=en) - [Troubleshooting](https://help.inspectio.no/knowledge-base/troubleshooting?hsLang=en) - [FAQs](https://help.inspectio.no/knowledge-base/faqs?hsLang=en) - [Learn about](https://help.inspectio.no/knowledge-base/learn-about?hsLang=en) [![color\_inverted\_vertical@4x](https://help.inspectio.no/hs-fs/hubfs/color_inverted_vertical@4x.png?width=350&height=255&name=color_inverted_vertical@4x.png "color_inverted_vertical@4x")](http://www.inspectio.no)   [mailto:support@inspectio.no](mailto:support@inspectio.no) Copyright © 2026, Inspectio AS
