Task Management
Assign equipment and contractors to field tasks
How It Works:
- Equipment Groups: Assigned with priority - perfect for SwarmBot fleets or harvest crews
- Multi-Equipment: Add multiple units to increase capacity for large operations
- Contractor Rates: Configure default rates per category, then force-assign or let auto-assignment use them
- Auto-Assignment: Contractors only used when no owned equipment is available

Work Split Configuration
Both a contractor and your own machines are assigned. Enter the share of the area the contractor covers (0-100%); your machines cover the rest.
The split is by hectares. For example, at 40% on a 1,000 ha task the contractor
is paid for 400 ha (at their per-hectare or per-hour rate), and your machines work
the other 600 ha, so their hours, fuel, labour and running costs are for 600 ha.
Your machines share their part between themselves as usual. Until you change it,
the split is 50%. The split only applies when the contractor and your machines do
the same job (e.g. both harvesting). On different jobs, such as your harvester with the
contractor's grain handling, each covers the whole task. Your support machines (chaser
bins, bins, augers) always work the whole task.

Configure Contractor Rates
How Contractor Assignments Work:
- Service Tiers: Configure rates for each service level (e.g., "Full Harvest" vs "Header Only"). All tiers are always available in the task management dropdown.
- Force Assignment: Use the Force button on any tier to assign it to all tasks in that category (overrides equipment assignments)
- Rates: These are the same rates as in Settings > Costs & Rates. Saving here saves them there, and every task uses them except tasks whose contractor rate you've edited on the task itself.
