WBS Associated with Task in Aspose.Tasks

Introduction

Welcome to the world of project management with Aspose.Tasks for Java! In this tutorial, we’ll delve into the intricacies of Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) associated with tasks using Aspose.Tasks for Java. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or just starting, this guide will help you navigate through the essentials of managing WBS codes efficiently.

Prerequisites

Before we dive into the tutorial, make sure you have the following prerequisites in place:

• Java Development Kit (JDK) installed on your machine.
• Aspose.Tasks for Java library downloaded and added to your project. You can get it from here.

Import Packages

Ensure you import the necessary packages to kickstart your project:

import com.aspose.tasks.ChildTasksCollector;
import com.aspose.tasks.Project;
import com.aspose.tasks.Task;
import com.aspose.tasks.TaskUtils;
import com.aspose.tasks.Tsk;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

Read WBS Codes

Let’s start by reading WBS codes associated with tasks. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Load the Project

Project project = new Project("Your Document Directory" + "input.mpp");

Step 2: Collect Tasks

ChildTasksCollector collector = new ChildTasksCollector();
TaskUtils.apply(project.getRootTask(), collector, 0);

Step 3: Parse and Customize

for (Task tsk : collector.getTasks()) {
    System.out.println(tsk.get(Tsk.WBS));
    System.out.println(tsk.get(Tsk.WBS_LEVEL));
    tsk.set(Tsk.WBS, "custom wbs");
}

This snippet reads and customizes WBS codes associated with tasks in your project.

Renumber Task WBS Codes

Now, let’s explore renumbering WBS codes for tasks:

Step 1: Load the Project

Project project = new Project("Your Document Directory" + "RenumberExample.mpp");

Step 2: Select All Tasks

List<Task> tasks = (List<Task>) project.getRootTask().selectAllChildTasks();

Step 3: Output Initial WBS Codes

System.out.println("WBS codes before: ");
for (Task task : tasks) {
    System.out.println("\"" + task.get(Tsk.WBS) + "\"" + "; ");
}

Step 4: Renumber WBS Codes

List<Integer> listIds = new ArrayList<>();
listIds.add(1);
listIds.add(2);
listIds.add(3);
project.renumberWBSCode(listIds);

Step 5: Output Updated WBS Codes

System.out.println("\nWBS codes after: ");
for (Task task : tasks) {
    System.out.println("\"" + task.get(Tsk.WBS) + "\"" + "; ");
}

By following these steps, you’ll effectively renumber WBS codes for tasks in your project.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You’ve successfully learned how to work with WBS codes using Aspose.Tasks for Java. This knowledge will empower you to efficiently manage and customize your project’s task hierarchy.
