# SAIF.Business.Tasks.Claim overview

> **Documentation context:** Front-End Application Component
> **Documented via:** LegalMaintenance (LegalMaintenance/LegalMaintenance.vbproj)

`SAIF.Business.Tasks.Claim` is a business/domain-layer class library that supplies the concrete claim-facing and Coverage B task types built on the abstract task contract defined by `SAIF.Business.Tasks`. It is compiled into the `LegalMaintenance` web deployment and consumed in-repo by `SAIF.Application.Claim` and `SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal`.*

## Purpose
- Supplies the concrete specialization tier over `SAIF.Business.Tasks`: source-system identity (`Claims`, `CoverageB`), claim binding, claim-specific business rules, and presentation-oriented collection shaping (sort, masking, filter echoes).
- Binds claim tasks (`clsClaimTask`, `clsClaimTaskCollection`, `clsMyTaskCollection`) and Coverage B tasks (`clsCoverageBTask`, `clsCoverageBTaskCollection`) to their owning claim, enriching each task with human-readable claim attributes obtained from `clsClaimData` or the `PK82284_CLAIM_TASK.SELECT_ADDITIONAL_FIELDS` stored procedure.
- Provides the read-only `LEGACY_TASK_CODE` lookup pair for task templating metadata.
- Offers `clsClaimTaskGenerator` as a batch/bulk-creation facade so other applications can raise workflow tasks against claims without knowing the underlying task object model.
- Applies access-based confidentiality redaction to "my tasks" retrieval so worker names are hidden from users lacking exposure/conflict/collateral/secure access.

## Responsibilities
- Own the claim-task and Coverage B task business objects, their creation, retrieval, sorting, and completion lifecycle.
- Enforce claim-task and Coverage B business rules (see [Business rules](business-rules.md)).
- Provide the batch-creation facade `clsClaimTaskGenerator` used by consuming applications.
- Maintain the read-only `LEGACY_TASK_CODE` code table access.

## Key components
- `clsClaimTask` / `clsClaimTaskCollection` / `clsMyTaskCollection`: claim-task family, including per-user confidentiality masking and priority sorting.
- `clsCoverageBTask` / `clsCoverageBTaskCollection`: Coverage B task family, structurally parallel to the claim-task family.
- `clsClaimTaskGenerator`: batch-creation facade wrapping a `clsClaimTaskCollection`.
- `clsLegacyTaskCode` / `clsLegacyTaskCodeCollection`: read-only `LEGACY_TASK_CODE` lookup.
