5.8 Task Reference
Tasks are a core component of XStudio automated execution. Each task does only one specific thing,
unlike some systems where multiple actions are taken within a single task. This approach allows for
greater flexibility, as tasks can be reused easily without concerns about side effects of anything done in
addition to performing the basic task.
Tasks are combined with other tasks to form what is known as an Action, which is simply an ordered
list of tasks. When an Action is run, its list of tasks is performed, in order. Actions can be initiated in
several ways, including associating the action with an audio switcher input relay, as a scheduled event,
as a log directive, using a hot button or as an action embedded in a cart play.
