Task tracking enforces locks when changing or deleting objects. An object which is locked to one task cannot be used by another task. Task Tracking is used to record all work performed on objects for a particular task. The task identifier can also be used to export all objects worked on for a task. Task tracking is very important for controlling a LANSA for i Master LANSA System used by multiple Visual LANSA Slave Systems. When Visual LANSA Slave Systems are used, task tracking also locks an object to a PC.

- How much control do you want to maintain over the development effort?
- How many developers are on your team?
- Does development need to be controlled by individual developer? Or by product? Or by both?
