Template:Actions Table Header

Purpose
Project management: this template provides headers for a table of tasks to be monitored. It starts a table of tasks.

Usage
In the real world, use the table of tasks as a simple and efficient way to monitor progress in a project. For each project progress meeting make a copy of the page containing the table(s) (as it was at the end of the previous meeting) and go through the tasks row by row updating the table as you go along. Usually only the theme/status and comment fields need be changed (unless extending deadlines and aspects of the Terms of Reference).

Use with Template:ActionRow and Template:Actions Table Footer.

The three templates provide a table header row, task/activity entries (one in each row), and a footer which simply ends the table (with optional fields for the cost of all the tasks and summary comments).

The theme can be used to indicate the status of tasks (in each row) and/or status of the project (or work package etc.) as whole in the header row or footer row. The themes are defined in Template:Task status theme.

Syntax

 * theme name is a name defined in Template:Task status theme.
