When maintaining technical objects, it is sometimes the case that task lists for maintaining different object types only differ from one another by additional, variant-specific operations, and that otherwise, they are largely identical. In cases such as this, you can use configurable general maintenance task lists.

If you create a maintenance or service order and assign a configurable general maintenance task list to it, the system recognizes that the general maintenance task list is assigned to a configuration profile. It calls up characteristic valuation and only selects the relevant operations for the order from the super task list, based on the object dependencies that you specified.

You can assign the general maintenance task list to a maintenance or service order and then select suitable operations for it. The class(es) that you assign to the general maintenance task list using the configuration profile control(s) which characteristics the system proposes for the characteristic evaluation.
