Service Order Task Actions - Requirements

Target release	2019.4
Epic	PCR360-4036
Document status	done
Last Updated	Mar 27, 2019

Goals

Convert "Service Order Only" Actions to "Task" Actions.
Rework the Actions Form from a Service focus to a one-time Task focus.

Background and strategic fit

Customers have requested more generic ways of tracking work on a Service Order, not all work relates directly to a Service. " Service-Order Only" Actions were already very similar to a generic "Task" type, so it makes sense to change this. Making this change opens up the usefulness of Service Orders and Actions to groups outside of Telecommunications.

Assumptions

There will be no functional differences between "Service Order Only" Actions and "Task" Actions.
