Work item APIs

Companies that own or link to Agile Process Teams use these APIs to add, update, and complete tasks. Tasks are based on pre-defined task templates, which determine the default values that populate for the task, any sub-tasks that automatically generate, and the extent to which the task can be modified by users.

Tasks are split into one or more sub-tasks, which are smaller, assignable portions of work that are completed as part of of the parent task. Sub-tasks are attached to tasks and managed by separate APIs.

Add Work item

Owners and Partners use this API to add a new work item to the Owner's company network, including any initial comments or file attachments. The response returns a generated identifier for the new work item.

New tasks are assigned the Draft base state by default.

Contact your TraceLink Services representative for more information about using this API.

Edit Work item

Owners and Partners use this API to modify an existing work item with new, updated, or corrected information (e.g. adding a description, updating the assignee company details, fixing a typo) and to update the workflow state (e.g. manually transitioning the base state from Draft to ToDo to indicate that the work assigned in the work item has started).
