Task selection is the process of choosing which tasks Cognibuild should run to generate parts of a deliverable.
Each deliverable is made up of tasks that represent different components of the document, allowing you to build it step by step using your supporting documentation.
Selecting tasks
Within a deliverable, you can browse and select the tasks you want to run.
Each task focuses on a specific part of the document
Tasks contribute to building the overall deliverable
You only need to select the tasks relevant to your project
This gives you flexibility to tailor the document to your requirements.
Adding additional tasks
As your project evolves, you may need to include new sections.
Cognibuild allows you to add tasks at any time, so your deliverable can grow alongside your project requirements.
Rerunning tasks
Tasks can be rerun to generate updated outputs.
This is useful when:
Supporting documentation has been updated
Additional context has been added
Project details have changed
Rerunning tasks helps refine and improve the generated content.
Iterating on documentation
Deliverables are typically built through multiple iterations.
A common workflow is:
Run tasks
Review the output
Refine inputs or documentation
Rerun tasks
This process allows you to progressively improve each section until it meets your requirements.
Tracking task progress
Cognibuild provides visibility into task progress within a deliverable.
You can see:
Which tasks have been selected
Which tasks are complete
Which tasks are still in progress
Tasks can be marked as complete once you are satisfied with the output.
Managing tasks within a deliverable
Tasks provide a structured way to build complex documentation.
By selecting, running, rerunning, and completing tasks, you can gradually assemble a full deliverable while maintaining clear visibility over progress and coverage.
