Each task is a combination of a task type, a repository type (Definer, Authorizer, BenchMark, or Application), a Host Repository, and few more optional settings. The task type can be one of the following:

1.A Compare task performs either a Comparison or a Release Comparison on a Host Repository.
2.A Create task creates a repository or application in the database. It has the same effect as running Create Tables from USoft Binder.
Task Details for a Create task are:

Drop Tables [ Yes|No ]

Create From [ Database|Flat Files|(N.A) ]

3.An Export task exports a repository, application, or release. It can use a Basket.
4.A Flat Files task generates one or more flat files (with extensions .CON, .ESI, .JOB) of a repository, or makes these flat files the active ones.
Task Details for a Flat Files task are:

Flat File Action [ All |CON | ESI | JOB | Set from here ]

5.An Import Into task imports the USoft Import XML document of a Comparison or Release Comparison into the Host Repository.
Task Details for an Import Into task are:

Include Commit [ Yes | No ]

6.An Open task simply opens a Definer, Authorizer, or Application.
7.A Task Set task runs another Task Set, as part of the current task set.
8.An XML View task opens an XML document in an external editor. This can be the XML repository of the Host Repository, or a Comparison, or a Release Comparison.
