Note What happens to the task sequence when you publish or clone an action plan template?
  • If at least one existing task is reordered, then the system retains the custom sequence in either the cloned or published action plan template.
  • If there are existing tasks but they aren’t reordered, then the cloned or published action plan template sorts the tasks according to the number of days to complete these tasks.
  • If there are no existing tasks, then the cloned or published action plan template sorts any newly added tasks according to the number of days to complete these tasks.
