iTask¶

iTask is a public interface in SAIF.Business that defines the common data and workflow operations required for SAIF task objects.

Purpose¶

Standardizes task identity, scheduling, assignment, and descriptive text across SAIF task implementations.
Exposes source-system, category, priority, and action-code metadata used to classify and process tasks.
Defines the task operations used to pend, append to, complete, and copy a task.
Carries optional claim, policy, and image identifiers alongside general task metadata.

Context¶

Namespace: SAIF.Business
Assembly/package: SAIF.Business

Public members¶

Member	Signature	Purpose
`TaskSeqNum`	`ReadOnly Property TaskSeqNum() As Decimal`	Returns the unique task ID.
`TaskDate`	`Property TaskDate() As Date`	Gets or sets the date associated with the task.
`Text`	`Property Text() As String`	Gets or sets the text or instructions associated with the task.
`Category`	`Property Category() As String`	Gets or sets the task category used by the source system.
`Priority`	`Property Priority() As String`	Gets or sets the task priority value.
`MailID`	`Property MailID() As String`	Gets or sets the mail ID to which the task is assigned.
`ActionCode`	`ReadOnly Property ActionCode() As String`	Returns the action code that describes work required before or when completing the task.
`SourceSystem`	`ReadOnly Property SourceSystem() As TaskSourceSystem`	Returns the enumerated task source-system value.
`SourceCode`	`ReadOnly Property SourceCode() As String`	Returns the source-system code for the task.
`DisplayField1`	`ReadOnly Property DisplayField1() As String`	Returns the first task-specific display field.
`DisplayField2`	`ReadOnly Property DisplayField2() As String`	Returns the second task-specific display field.
`DisplayField3`	`ReadOnly Property DisplayField3() As String`	Returns the third task-specific display field.
`RequiresNotePadEntry`	`ReadOnly Property RequiresNotePadEntry() As Boolean`	Indicates whether completing the task requires a NotePad entry.
`ClaimID`	`Property ClaimID() As Decimal`	Gets or sets the optional claim ID associated with the task.
`PolicyNumber`	`Property PolicyNumber() As Decimal`	Gets or sets the optional policy number associated with the task.
`ImageSeqNum`	`Property ImageSeqNum() As Decimal`	Gets or sets the optional image ID associated with the task.
`Pend`	`Sub Pend(ByVal inTimeSpan As TimeSpan)`	Pushes the task date out by the supplied time span.
`Append`	`Sub Append(ByVal inText As String)`	Appends text to the current task text.
`MarkCompleted`	`Sub MarkCompleted()`	Marks the task as completed.
`CopyTo`	`Function CopyTo(ByVal inMailID As String) As iTask`	Generates a copy of the current task for a new mail ID and returns it.

Behavioral notes¶

The contract separates mutable scheduling and assignment fields from read-only identity and source-classification fields.
Pend, Append, MarkCompleted, and CopyTo define the workflow actions that every task implementation must support.
ClaimID, PolicyNumber, and ImageSeqNum are explicitly documented in source as optional task associations.

Constraints and usage notes¶

This is an interface only; implementations must supply storage, validation, and persistence behavior.
CopyTo returns another iTask, so callers should expect a task-compatible clone rather than a primitive status value.
Pend requires a TimeSpan argument, and the contract does not define parameterless overloads for pending or copying.
