Interfaceosid.resourcing.EffortSearchSession
Implementsosid.resourcing.EffortQuerySession
Description

This session provides methods for searching among Effort objects. The search query is constructed using the EffortQuery.

getEffortsByQuery() is the basic search method and returns a list of Efforts. A more advanced search may be performed with getEffortsBySearch(). It accepts an EffortSearch in addition to the query for the purpose of specifying additional options affecting the entire search, such as ordering. getEffortsBySearch() returns an EffortSearchResults that can be used to access the resulting EffortList or be used to perform a search within the result set through EffortSearch.

This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching.

  • federated foundry view: searches include efforts in foundries of which this foundry is an ancestor in the foundry hierarchy
  • isolated foundry view: searches are restricted to efforts in this foundry

Efforts may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The query record is accessed via the EffortQuery.
