In this project, I built a task file in ArcGIS Pro to guide a GIS Analyst team through simulated Search and Rescue operation workflows. A task is a set of preconfigured steps that guide a user through a repeatable workflow. They can be used as training aids or to make workflows more efficient by consolidating tools and interfaces in the Tasks pane.
I learned how to use a task to insert data, make edits, browse the map, and export a map series to PDF. I also practiced organizing a task item and creating a task based on a repeatable workflow. This task included step actions, verifications, a geoprocessing model, and a palette step. Finally, I saved a task item as a task file, opened the task file in a new project, and resolved errors and matched data to make the task usable in the new project to ensure interoperability for other users on different machines.
I have continued to use best practices in task item design with numerous ArcGIS Pro projects under a non-disclosure agreement as a volunteer with SIL International.
