Interfaceosid.tracking.SubtaskIssueLookupSession
Implementsosid.OsidSession
Description

This session defines methods for retrieving subtasks.

This lookup session defines several views:

  • comparative view: elements may be silently omitted or re-ordered
  • plenary view: provides a complete result set or is an error condition
  • isolated front office view: All issue methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to issues defined explicitly in the current front office. Using an isolated view is useful for managing Issues with the IssueAdminSession.
  • federated front office view: All issue lookup methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to all issues defined in this front office and any other issues implicitly available in this front office through front office inheritence.

The methods useFederatedFrontOfficeView() and useIsolatedFrontOfficeView() behave as a radio group and one should be selected before invoking any lookup methods.

Issues may have an additional records indicated by their respective record types. The record may not be accessed through a cast of the Issues.
