About Remote Collaboration Task Operations

Collaboration tasks can be used to track workflow and process in a wide range of applications. Using the PRC Collaboration API in the IDK (com.plumtree.remote.prc.collaboration.tasklist), you can query, create, and modify tasks and task lists, as well as manage workflow and task dependencies.

Collaboration tasks define work that needs to be done, who will do it, when it should be completed, and how it relates to other tasks. Individual tasks can contain up to three levels of subtasks, and you can set dependencies between tasks in the same project. Task lists serve as structured to-do lists of tasks to be completed for a project or a phase of a project. Security for tasks is implemented through the associated task list.

The PRC Collaboration API provides access to the following task functionality:
  • Collaboration Workspace: Query, create, copy, modify, and delete task lists, tasks and subtasks.
  • Workflow: Add subtasks and task dependencies, assign users, and track task status and risk.
  • Subscriptions: Provide users with e-mail notifications when an event occurs, such as when new task list is created or a task is assigned.
