ServiceCallTask
IMPORTANT The SOAP API entered a limited enhancement phase in Q4 2020. Access to version 1.6 will be deactivated.
NOTE This entity works in combination with the Service Call and other Service Call related entities. Before working with this entity, review the topic ServiceCall.
This entity describes an Autotask project task assigned to a service call. Service calls are instances of time scheduled to perform work for an account. A project task associated with a service call describes work that must be performed during the scheduled time.
Users create tasks through the Projects module and can assign tasks to a service call through the Projects module, the Service Desk module, or Dispatcher's Workshop.
A ServiceCallTask entity is associated with a ServiceCall entity and requires a ServiceCallID value; for additional information, refer to ServiceCall.
