Moving tasks

To move a task from one project to another, you need to specify the ID of an existing project or to create a new project. Either way, the project to which you want to move the task must have the same target locale as the task.

Before you begin

Make sure that you have the appropriate permissions to move tasks or to create projects. Otherwise, WorldServer will return a 403 Forbidden status code.

About this task

Procedure

  1. Log in to the WorldServer API.
    A response similar to the following is returned. In the response, identify the value of the sessionId parameter. You will need this value in all the calls you make.A screen shot that highlights the sessionId in the response to the login call.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • If you want to move the task to an existing project, get the ID of that project.
    • Create a new project in which to move the task. To create a new project, you need to specify in the request model the IDs of the task that you want to move and a valid workgroup ID.
  3. Move the task to the project.
    Make sure you know the ID of the project, regardless of whether you want to move the task to an existing project or to a newly created one. Either way, the project to which you want to move the task must have the same target locale as the task.
