Purpose:
To automatically populate list of Tasks upon selecting 'Priority' in a Notification.
Different sets of Tasks will be populated automatically according to the selected 'Priority' value.
Applications:
This feature acts as an Equipment/Functional Location Tasklist for Maintenance Orders and mostly used in cases where jobs end at Notification levels (no need of Orders).
Because this process is based on a 'Priority type' which is assigned to a notification, often custom notification types are preferred for this process.
(This is where the standard notifications prefer other priority types.)
Here the custom notification type is 'AC' and a case of Overhauling process of HVAC equipments is demonstrated.
The End result of this document is illustrated here:
Create a notification, select the priority ( Say here 'PAC O/H' ) , then in the menu bar go for Edit --> Tasks --> Determine .
Set of tasks relevant to 'PAC O/H' are populated automatically, as shown in the images1,2,3 below.

Now your Notification Type 'AC' is enabled to determine tasks automatically, different set of tasks with different value of 'Priority type' as demonstrated in the beginning of this document.
Application in maintenance plans using Notifications:
See the picture below. When the settings are made during the plan creation, the triggered notifications come alongwith the set of Tasks.
