Adding and deleting subtasks from a task code

Subtasks are a quick way to further define and breakdown a task. In the example below, "Check and Test all Safety Devices" is a task with three subtasks. The subtasks represent the various smaller steps that make up this task. The task and its subtasks will print on a report for the technician to bring to his appointment.
 
A subtask does not require estimated costs and billable amounts.
