Edit Task: Dependencies
Description
The Dependencies attribute under EditTask will define the dependencies for a task. This command will delete any previous existing list of dependency constraints.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| NofDuring |
A number that represents the amount of defined "during" task constraints that must be met before this task can be assigned. Any previous list of dependency constraints will be deleted. If the word "ALL" appears here, the number of "during" constraints that must be met is set to the number of "during" constraints defined in the definition list of the current command. |
| NofPredecessor |
A number that represents the amount of defined "predecessor" task constraints that must be met before this task can be assigned. If the word "ALL" appears here, the number of "predecessor" constraints that must be met is set to the number of "predecessor" constraints defined in the definition list of the current command. |
| TaskDependencies | List of the remaining parameters in the table |
| TaskName | A string of text of the name of the constraining task. |
| DependencyType | Options are either "Pred" or "During", for either Predecessor or During type respectively. |
| MinAfterType | Options are either "Start", "Stop", or "None". This value is required but is ignored if MinTimeAfter is None (not applicable). |
| MinTimeAfter | A number representing seconds(millisecond fidelity) of the minimum time between definitions. If MinAfterType is set to None then the minimum time between constraint does not apply. |
| MaxAfterType | The parameter options are either "Start", "Stop", or "None". This value is required but is ignored if maxAfterType is None (not applicable). |
| MaxTimeAfter | The parameter is a number representing seconds(millisecond fidelity) of the maximum time between definitions. If MaxAfterType is set to None then the maximum time between constraint does not apply. |
Examples
Make TaskB use TaskA as a predecessor dependency, with a minimum afterStop time of 0s and a maximum afterStop time of 20s
