✅ T‑Card as the Preferred Task Type
T‑Cards are ideal for regular, recurring tasks such as rounds, audits, or cleanings.
T‑Cards automatically appear in the planning period with status indicators:
-
red = open
-
green = done
-
green with PDCA circle = done with deviation
Automatic re‑creation is supported for daily, weekly or monthly frequencies.
