URL: | /editor/task/[ID] | ||
Available Methods: | GET / POST / PUT / DELETE | ||
Specialities: | Since on a POST request the import data is given, the POST must be transmitted as “multipart/form-data”. POST creates the Task, and start the import process. Unless autoStartImport is set to 0, then the task is uploaded but the import starts on calling or a separate URL is called. See below. By setting the userState to the value “edit” the task is registered as to be edited by the current user. Setting it back to the userState “open” means that the the task is open again for all users. forced DELETE: if the ACL right "taskForceDelete" (resource "backend") is set to a role, users of that role can use the "force" switch to delete tasks locked by other users. | ||
Advanced filtering | In addition to the default filtering possibilities by task model fields, there is additional option for advanced "workflow" filtering. For example you can filter for all tasks where user "X" is assigned as reviewer. The additional filter parameter should look like this:
This will filter for all tasks where the user with guid {4484fa0b-4c94-4294-8d30-7dd697760d2b} is assigned as reviewer. The other available fields for the advanced workflow filters:
|
Special Task Import URLs
| URL to start the import of the uploaded task: | /editor/task/[ID]/import → [ID] is the id of the task, the taskGuid is currently not supported |
| Reimport a before exported task from an excel file: | editor/task/[ID]/excelreimport |
...
URL to get the edited task data in a ZIP container: | /editor/task/export/id/[ID] The export ZIP may contain the translated content directly, or for legacy reasons in a folder named as the taskGuid of the task. This can be controlled by setting runtimeOptions.editor.export.taskguiddirectory or explicitly on each export call by setting a GET parameter "taskguiddirectory" with 0 or 1. |
As above, but with diff tags: | /editor/task/export/id/[ID]/diff/1 |
| Export the translated file only from the ZIP container: | /editor/task/export/id/[ID]?format=filetranslation |
MQM Statistic Export: | /editor/qmstatistics/index/taskGuid/[GUID]?type=[TYPE] |
| Export Task as Excel: | /editor/task/[ID]/excelexport/ |

| importProgress | integer | GET only (the task must be in state import or matchanalysis), Current import(or running matchanalysis worker) total progress. |
Import push callback
To prevent excessive polling of the task state while import a HTTP callback can be configured. This is needed since task imports may need up to hours, depending on task size and used features (like term tagging).
To configure the callback search in the configuration for "runtimeOptions.import.callbackUrl" and set the value to your URL:
- If a URL is set, this URL is called with HTTP POST after task import, where the task itself is contained as JSON (only the meta data, not the uploaded files).
- The callback is also called in case of import errors, so your callback handler must evaluate the tasks state field given in json. A state of "open" (or in other words not "error") means a successful import of that task.
- If the callback is not returning a HTTP 200 status, translate5 will add a warning into the application log on each call of the callback.

The callback is called also in the case of an import error!
In seldom cases the import is crashing in a way no callback can be send (server reboot for example). In that case such a task is set to state error after 48 hours, which then triggers the callback finally. The 48 hours can be configured too: runtimeOptions.import.timeout
Task types
A task can be of a specific type. The types defines the visibility and how the task is threatened in the application. For example the projects are also tasks, but with taskType project.
