Exporting tasks

Tasks (executions) and assessments both use the activities_paged query with an activityTypes filter. Both types share the Activity interface, which provides all common fields. Use an inline fragment (... on Assessment) to access assessment-specific fields like effectiveness.

Basic query — tasks (executions)

query ExportTasks($first: Int, $after: String, $filter: ActivityFilter) {
  activities_paged(first: $first, after: $after, filter: $filter) {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        sequenceId
        name
        description
        notBefore
        expires
        closedDate
        reviewedDate
        createdDate
        plan {
          id
          name
        }
        controls {
          id
          sequenceId
          name
        }
        assets {
          id
          name
        }
        assignments {
          assignmentType
          user {
            name
            email
          }
        }
      }
    }
    pageInfo {
      hasNextPage
      endCursor
    }
  }
}

Variables to fetch the first page of tasks:

{ "first": 50, "after": null, "filter": { "activityTypes": ["EXECUTE"] } }

Key fields

sequenceId — the human-readable number shown in the UI
closedDate — set when the task is completed; null if still open
reviewedDate — set when the task has been reviewed by a reviewer
plan — the Plan that generated this task

Filtering examples

Only open tasks:

{ "filter": { "activityTypes": ["EXECUTE"], "closed": false } }

Overdue tasks:

{ "filter": { "activityTypes": ["EXECUTE"], "status": ["OVERDUE"] } }

Tasks due soon:

{ "filter": { "activityTypes": ["EXECUTE"], "status": ["DUE_SOON"] } }

Tasks linked to a specific control:

{ "filter": { "activityTypes": ["EXECUTE"], "controls": ["control-uuid-here"] } }

Tasks assigned to a specific user:

{ "filter": { "activityTypes": ["EXECUTE"], "assignees": ["user-uuid-here"] } }

Exporting assessments

Assessments use the same activities_paged query with activityTypes: [ASSESS]. Use the ... on Assessment inline fragment to access the effectiveness field, which is specific to assessments.

query ExportAssessments($first: Int, $after: String, $filter: ActivityFilter) {
  activities_paged(first: $first, after: $after, filter: $filter) {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        sequenceId
        name
        closedDate
        createdDate
        controls { id name }
        assets { id name }
        assignments { assignmentType user { name email } }
        ... on Assessment {
          effectiveness
        }
      }
    }
    pageInfo {
      hasNextPage
      endCursor
    }
  }
}

Variables:

{ "first": 50, "after": null, "filter": { "activityTypes": ["ASSESS"] } }

The effectiveness field on assessments is: UNDETERMINED, INEFFECTIVE, or EFFECTIVE.

Count only

query {
  tasks_open: activities_count(filter: { closed: false, activityTypes: [EXECUTE] })
  tasks_closed: activities_count(filter: { closed: true, activityTypes: [EXECUTE] })
  assessments_open: activities_count(filter: { closed: false, activityTypes: [ASSESS] })
  assessments_closed: activities_count(filter: { closed: true, activityTypes: [ASSESS] })
}
