Create Task - Schedules | iTwin Platform

Schedules

Download API definition:

This API is a Technical Preview and is available for testing purposes only. Do not use in production.

POST https://dev-api.bentley.com/schedules/{scheduleId}/tasks

Creates a Task for a Schedule.

Tasks are but not limited to portions of work that are used to help determine the overall workload required and timeframe needed to complete the project.

Task Types

Tasks can be of differing types. The following Task types have different behaviors:

Work: The default Task type. Work represents an expenditure of effort and resources achieving the Task. Work type Tasks have a Start, Finish and a Duration.
StartKeyDate: A Project Milestone - setting a Task as a Key Date will also change its representation in the Gantt Chart to a diamond, and give the Task a zero duration. Start Key Dates have no Finish Date or Duration.
FinishKeyDate: A Project Milestone - setting a Task as a Key Date will also change its representation in the Gantt Chart to a diamond, and give the Task a zero duration. Finish Key Dates have no Start Date or Duration.
ShortHammock: Spans the shortest duration between all its predecessor and successor Tasks. The Start, Finish, and Duration of the Short Hammock is derived from its predecessor and successor Tasks and cannot be edited directly.
LongHammock: Spans the longest duration between all its predecessor and successor Tasks. The Start, Finish, and Duration of the Long Hammock is derived from its predecessor and successor Tasks and cannot be edited directly

The remaining Task Types behave the same as the Work type and can be used to help label Tasks.

Operations, also known as LROs (Long Running Operations), are time-consuming tasks that would not be completed in the appropriate timeframe for a single request response. Endpoints that use operations return an operation id that can be used on a separate endpoint to track the progress of the task that is being handled.
