Zusammenfassung:	A handheld field maintenance tool (52 102) is provided. The handheld field maintenance tool (52 102) includes a process communication module (121 138) configured to communicate with a field device (22 23 104). The handheld field maintenance tool (52 102) also includes a display (120) and a user input device (122). A controller (130) is coupled to the process communication module (121 138) the user input device (122) and the display (122) and is configured to generate a listing of task based field maintenance operations on the display (120) and receive a user input selecting a task based field maintenance operation (254). The controller (130) is configured to automatically traverse (258) a menu of the field device (22 23 102) using a fast key sequence relative to the selected task. A method of creating a task based field maintenance operation (260) is provided. A method of interacting with a field device menu (300) is also provided.
