What is a task section in a checklist run


A recurring process usually requires different types of tasks to be completed. All tasks relate to a checklist run, but there are some tasks that relate to each other. This is where a task section becomes useful. Group up tasks that relate to each other under a section. You can create as many sections in one checklist run as you need. This provides a clear structure and easy monitoring of task completion.
