QMS API to create task

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hello Experts,

I am trying to create a task using QMS API. I am successful in creating the task but I am not able to set the properties of task like -

1. Task document information

2. Task Triggers

I am using the following code -

documentTask.General = new DocumentTask.TaskGeneral();

documentTask.General.Enabled = true;

documentTask.General.TaskName = "Task123";

documentTask.General.TaskDescription = "Creating a task via QMS API";

documentTask.DocumentInfo = new DocumentTask.TaskDocumentInfo();

documentTask.DocumentInfo.Category = "Parallel_Test";

documentTask.DocumentInfo.Description = "Task created using QMS API";

Guid triggerID = new Guid("e95ecd5a-683d-1d33-26bf-66e94ff08223");

Trigger t = new Trigger();

List<Trigger> List_Trigger = new List<Trigger>();

t.Type = TaskTriggerType.OnceTrigger;

t.Enabled = true;

t.ID = triggerID;

List_Trigger.Add(t);

documentTask.Triggering = new DocumentTask.TaskTriggering();

documentTask.Triggering.Triggers = List_Trigger;

documentTask.Scope = DocumentTaskScope.General;

apiClient.SaveDocumentTask(documentTask);

After executing this code, I am able to see the Task123 in QEMC, but it has no triggers and no document information.

Has anyone faced this issue ? Please tell me if I am missing something in this code.

Thanks,

Samir Prasadi

Setting up the triggers correctly is a bit tricky. Different trigger types expect different properties to be set.

I see you haven't specified when the trigger should execute for instance.

Here is an example of a recurring trigger:

if (task.Triggering.Triggers == null)

{

task.Triggering.Triggers = new List<Trigger>(1);

}

var trigger = new RecurrenceTrigger { Enabled = true, ID = Guid.NewGuid()};

trigger.Type = TaskTriggerType.HourlyTrigger;

trigger.Hourly = new RecurrenceTrigger.RecurrenceTriggerHourly

{

// RecurEvery is minutes when taskTriggerType is hourly...

RecurEvery = repeatEvery.Interval * 60,

DayOfWeekConstraints = new List<DayOfWeek>

{

DayOfWeek.Monday,

DayOfWeek.Tuesday,

DayOfWeek.Wednesday,

DayOfWeek.Thursday,

DayOfWeek.Friday,

DayOfWeek.Saturday,

DayOfWeek.Sunday

}

};

task.Triggering.Triggers.Add(trigger);

Hi,

Thank you for the reply. I forgot to update this thread, I was able to set the required properties of task by setting the scope property.

Regards,

Samir.
