ProjectTasks_LoadByCriteria Operation

Applies to QAComplete 14.3, last modified on February 19, 2024

Returns agile tasks, to do lists, and appointments that meet the specified condition. If no condition is specified, the method returns all agile tasks, to do lists, and appointments in all tests in the specified projects.

The operation can get items from one or several projects. To specify a project to get items from, use the ProjId value in the AuthenticationData object in the request body. To get items from several projects, use the ProjIds value in the AuthenticationData object to specify the list of project IDs.

The method returns results in pages (subsets of data) rather than all at once. The number of pages and the number of items each page contains is controlled by the PageSize and PageNumber parameters. For information about working with pages, see LoadByCriteria Operations.

Requirements

The authenticating user must belong to a security group that has the Read privilege for Agile Tasks.

Parameters

The operation uses the following parameters:

AuthenticationData  :  , required

An AuthenticationData object with the login information and the ID of the project (or the list of project IDs) whose agile tasks, to do lists, and appointments you want to get.

Condition  :  string, required

A condition (in XML format) the agile tasks, to do lists, or appointments should meet. Wrap the condition into the CDATA tag or encode XML entities.

If you do not specify a condition, the method will return all agile tasks, to do lists, and appointments in the specified project.

Sorting  :  string, required

Specifies a property by which the method will sort the items.

PageSize  :  integer, required

Specifies how many items a single page contains (from 1 to 200).

PageNumber  :  integer, required

Specifies the number of the page from which you want to get items.

Result

An array of the ProjectTask objects that meet the criteria.
