SetTaskLevel method: Gantt class

Syntax

SetTaskLevel(RecordName.FieldName)

Description

Use the SetTaskLevel method to specify the field in the record that defines the level for the task. The outermost summary tasks are always defined as task level one. Tasks with task levels greater than one are subtasks. Subtasks may also contain other subtasks.

The following table shows an example of the different levels that could be used, as well as what the parent task level is.

Note:

The parent task is not actually part of the data.
