The records of tables extended from the Task table provide an efficient way of handling tasks, tracking the process through states and recording information via the Activity Feed.
In SimpleOne, the Task table is one of the basic tables of the system. It is not used on its own. The table provides a set of columns as a basis for child tables, i.e., tables extended from the Task table. The extended tables ( child tables ) inherit the fields and adjust them to the specific processes using column override.
SimpleOne provides the following set of child tables:
- ITSM Tasks (itsm_task) == все таблицы ниже наследуют поля Таск (40) через эту таблицу + поля этой таблицы (23)
- Incident (itsm_incident)
- Inquiries (itsm_inquiry)
- Requests (itsm_request)
- Problems (itsm_problem)
- Change Requests (itsm_change_request).
Usually, the Task table is not used on its own: tasks are created in its child tables. |
The scheme below illustrates the structure of ITSM table extensions:

Changes applied to the Task table will affect its child tables. Make sure that the changes do not cause malfanction malfunction in the child tables. Use column override to modify the parent and child tables. |
The table below lists the fields inherited by child tables:
