# Maintenance Task Lists

> Task list headers, operations, long texts, sub-operations, components, relationships and strategy package assignments: fields, actions, SAP's rules and the Private Edition differences.

> **Draft brief for authors.** The family overview (hand-written) plus the generated pages below.

**Overview contains:** the eight objects and how operations, sub-operations, components and relationships hang under a header; the composite keys (type, group, group counter, …) and the keys SAP assigns on Create, written back to the row; Create and Change of headers and operations, Create from Reference, Remove Package Assignment; what a V4 interface answers differently, in plain words.
