-   **[Safety and knowledge fields for Action sub-activities](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=work-set-sub-activity-form&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**

Capture execution-critical context when authoring an Action sub-activity in a work set standard. Define the LOTO\(TO\) level, line status, and a knowledge article on the sub-activity, and these values carry over to the generated action when the work set runs.

-   **[Schedule-based exceptions for sub-activities](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=work-set-standards&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**

Run a sub-activity on its own schedule instead of the work set's schedule. Select Schedule-based exception on a sub-activity and configure a custom or shift-based recurrence, so a child task is generated for the sub-activity only when it's due within the work set task's timeframe.


 -   **[Work set standards](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=work-set-standards&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)Work Set standards**

Author a work set standard that groups Standard and Action sub-activities, then publish it through the standard approval and versioning flow.Run a work set standard as a Work set task that automatically creates child industrial guided tasks and industrial actions for execution on the shop floor.


 -   **[Standards hub](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=industrial-standards-library&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**

Browse and compare standards using an upgraded hub that provides tile and list views with filters for state, scope, category, functional location, and equipment model.Users can quickly compare similar standards and see linked tasks, skills, and knowledge.Access policies differentiate enterprise and site standards to help prevent misapplication.

-   **[Scheduling](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=scheduling-standards&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**

Generate recurring work from standards by configuring daily, weekly, monthly, and custom scheduling patterns to maintain a consistent operational cadence.A system property \(for example, an offset in minutes\) lets admins align task creation with shift handovers or production calendar boundaries.Runtime tracing improves visibility into created tasks, their status, and exceptions.

-   **[Skill-based task management](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=skill-based-task-management&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**

Define required skills or certifications within standards to ensure that only qualified operators execute safety‑critical tasks. Supervisors can request waivers or alternative routing when skills are missing.
