Overtimes in Tasks

Microsoft Project lets users assign overtime to tasks. Aspose.Tasks for Java supports this functionality through two properties in the Task class.

Overtime

The Task exposes several properties for working with overtime:

• OvertimeCost: reads and writes the sum of tasks, actual and remaining overtime cost (double).
• OvertimeWork: reads and writes the amount of overtime scheduled for a task (TimeSpan).

To see a task’s overtime work and cost properties:

1. In the Task Entry form, select the Insert menu and then Column.
2. Add the overtime columns.

Getting task overtimes in Aspose.Tasks for Java

The following examples show how to get the overtime cost and work associated with a task with Aspose.Tasks.

// For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-tasks/Aspose.Tasks-for-Java
// The path to the documents directory.
String dataDir = Utils.getDataDir(OvertimesInTasks.class);

// Create new project
Project project = new Project(dataDir + "Input.mpp");

for (Task tsk : project.getRootTask().getChildren()) {
    System.out.println(tsk.get(Tsk.OVERTIME_COST));
    System.out.println(tsk.get(Tsk.OVERTIME_WORK).toString());
    System.out.println(tsk.get(Tsk.PERCENT_COMPLETE));
    System.out.println(tsk.get(Tsk.PERCENT_WORK_COMPLETE).toString());
    System.out.println(tsk.get(Tsk.PHYSICAL_PERCENT_COMPLETE).toString());

    // set percent complete
    tsk.set(Tsk.PERCENT_COMPLETE, 100);
}
