Revision: 1.2

This section specifies the template task_list.

NOTE  The template has been defined in the context of UK_Defence. Refer to the business context for details of related templates.

NOTE  An explanation of a template and the associated instantiation path is provided in the Template overview section.

Description

This template describes how to represent a lst of types of task that are required to be carried out.

Business perspective

A Task List is a list of tasks that are important in a particular context.

Model diagrams
The EXPRESS-G diagram in Figure 2 shows the templates and EXPRESS entities that are required to represent the template "task_list". The text highlighted in blue shows the template parameters.

Input parameters
The following input parameters are defined for this template:
Context (Type='STRING')
The task_list Context.
ID (Type='STRING')
The task_list identifier.
ID_source_organization (Type='STRING')
The identifier of the organization responsible for the task_list identifier.
Name (Type='STRING')
The task_list name.
Name_source_organization (Type='STRING')
The name of the organization responsible for the task_list identifier.
Version (Type='STRING')
The task_list version.
Related_tasks (Type= 'ENTITY (Task_method)' )
The tasks that constitute the task list.
Reference parameters
The following reference parameters are defined for this template:
task_list(Type='ENTITY (Task_element_sequence)')
Allow the Task_element_sequence entity instantiated in this path to be referenced when this template is used.
Note: The Task_element_sequence entity can be referenced in a template path by:
%^target = $task_list.task_list%
where target is the parameter to which the Task_element_sequence is bound.
Uniqueness constraints

The following parameter combinations specify a uniqueness constraint:
Unique constraint: Unique Task_list
Each instance of the entity (Task_element_sequence) within the data set shall be uniquely identified by a combination of the following parameters on this template (task_list) namely: ID, ID_source_organization, Version.
The instance is referenced by the following template parameter: task_list.
Instantiation path
The instantiation path shown below specifies the entities that are to be instantiated by the template.
A description of templates and the syntax for the instantiation path is provided in the Templates Help/Information section.

Instance diagrams
The instance diagram in Figure  4 shows an example of the EXPRESS entities and templates that are instantiated by the template:
/task_list(ID='TL01', ID_source_organization='UK_Defence', Name='My task list', Name_source_organization='UK_Defence', Version='v01', Context='UK_Defence context', Related_tasks='@77', Related_tasks='@198')/
(an illustration of the consolidated task_list template is shown in Figure 5 below.)

The instance diagram in Figure 5 shows the graphic symbol for the template that is to be used in other instance diagrams. The example template is:
/task_list(ID='TL01', ID_source_organization='UK_Defence', Name='My task list', Name_source_organization='UK_Defence', Version='v01', Context='UK_Defence context', Related_tasks='@77', Related_tasks='@198')/

Characterizations
No common characterizations of the template task_list have been identified. However, the ISO 10303-239 EXPRESS model may enable other assignments to the entities instantiated by the template.
