Splitting Task

Splitting task can be done both for actual state or baseline of the task. Splitting is defines in interval subnodes of actual or baseline nodes respectively. Here is an XML sample of splitted actual and planned parts of a task:

<task id="3" name="Task 3">
  
<actual>
    
<interval start="2008.07.11" end="2008.07.16" />
    
<interval start="2008.07.17" end="2008.07.20" />
  
</actual>
  
<baseline>
    
<interval start="2008.07.09" end="2008.07.10" />
    
<interval start="2008.07.16" end="2008.07.17" />
    
<interval start="2008.07.21" end="2008.07.29" />
  
</baseline>
</task>

You just set start and end as for a usual task. Here is a sample of tasks splitted into several intervals and unsplitted tasks.

Configurating Appearance

Actual and Baseline Intervals are shown just as continious actual and baseline bars, ans configured by the appropiate nodes in Task Style. There is no ability to change appearance of selected interval, but you can define its own actions and custom attributes - to alter tooltip and onclick behavior. Please refer to these documents regarding appearance configuration:
