Handle Leveling Delay Properties in Aspose.Tasks

Introduction

In this tutorial, we’ll walk through the process of handling leveling delay properties for resource assignments in Aspose.Tasks for Java. Aspose.Tasks is a powerful Java library that allows you to work with Microsoft Project files without requiring Microsoft Project to be installed on your system.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

1. Java Development Kit (JDK): Ensure that you have Java JDK installed on your system. You can download and install it from the website.

2. Aspose.Tasks for Java Library: Download the Aspose.Tasks for Java library from the download page.

Import Packages

First, import the necessary packages into your Java project to use Aspose.Tasks functionalities:

import com.aspose.tasks.Asn;
import com.aspose.tasks.Project;
import com.aspose.tasks.Resource;
import com.aspose.tasks.ResourceAssignment;
import com.aspose.tasks.Task;
import com.aspose.tasks.TimeUnitType;
import com.aspose.tasks.Tsk;
import java.util.Calendar;

Step 1: Create a Project Object

Instantiate a Project object:

Project prj = new Project();

Step 2: Create a Task

Add a task to the project:

Task task = prj.getRootTask().getChildren().add("Task 1");

Step 3: Set Task Start Date and Duration

Set the start date and duration for the task:

java.util.Calendar cal = java.util.Calendar.getInstance();
cal.set(2000, Calendar.JANUARY, 3, 8, 0, 0);
task.set(Tsk.START, cal.getTime());
task.set(Tsk.DURATION, prj.getDuration(8));

Step 4: Add a Resource

Add a resource to the project:

Resource resource = prj.getResources().add("Resource 1");

Step 5: Create a Resource Assignment

Create a resource assignment for the task and resource:

ResourceAssignment assignment = prj.getResourceAssignments().add(task, resource);

Step 6: Set Leveling Delay

Set the leveling delay for the assignment:

assignment.set(Asn.DELAY, prj.getDuration(0, TimeUnitType.Day));

Step 7: Display Results

Print the leveling delay and other relevant information:

System.out.println("Delay: " + assignment.get(Asn.DELAY));
System.out.println("Leveling Delay: " + assignment.get(Asn.LEVELING_DELAY));
System.out.println("Process completed Successfully");

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we’ve learned how to handle leveling delay properties for resource assignments in Aspose.Tasks for Java. By following these steps, you can efficiently manage resource assignments in your Java projects.
