Narrative:

Air carrier has gone to a new maintenance program. The gpm calls out for an airworthiness release audit task card but the computer program that prints task and task cards does not support the daily check -- only service checks and 'a' and high checks; which print the complete package. The only way to get a daily task card is to print only the card. The complete change to the maintenance program was a rush-rush job with no basic input from the field. When the new check task card came out; no one was around to answer questions and no one seems to care.
