How to Transform a Tree into a Routine

Kinetic Task Trees can be converted to Routines. This process requires the Tree to be exported, modified in a text editor, and re-imported into Kinetic Task.

Steps

  1. Navigate to the details of the Tree to be converted
  2. Export the Tree

  2. Modify <sourceName> tag content to "-"
  3. Modify <sourceGroup> tag content to "-"
  4. Modify <type> tag content to "Global Routine"
  5. Add <definitionId> content (Append with "routine" and may only contain alphanumeric and underscore characters)
  6. Modify <taskTree> <name> content to a new name
  7. Save Changes locally
  8. Import Routine
