Defining the Task Properties (Magic xpa 3.x)
We use both the terms program and task to describe an operation code in Magic xpa.
There is a difference between a program and task in Magic xpa. A task is the basic unit for constructing a program. A program can be constructed of a main task and subtasks.
Actually, if a program consists of one main task only, like in the program we just created, it is equivalent to a task.
-
Park on My First Program. Park is a term used in Magic xpa and means to click on that location.
-
Zoom to the program by pressing F5. Zoom is a term used often in Magic xpa. It means to drill-down to the next level in the interface.
|
The Navigator pane displays the task tree.
In this case, the new program is constructed of only one main task.

Each task has its own property definitions.
The task properties include a collection of properties that let you define the task's type, behavior, data, interface, and more advanced features.
-
From the Task menu, select Task Properties (Ctrl+P).

Click OK to close the Task Properties dialog box and to save the changes.
The next step is to define the task data view.
