ProjectsSearch your tasks for time tracking, most recently registered first

Search your tasks for time tracking, most recently registered first

Searches the caller's allocated tasks by task name or number, tasks the caller last registered time on first.

The task picker of a time-tracking client, ordered for re-use: tasks the CALLER is allocated to whose name or number contains searchText, sorted by the caller's most recently created time registration on the task (highest registration ID), then the tasks the caller never registered on. searchAll=true drops the allocation filter and needs the privilege RegistrationAllTasks. includeFavouriteOnly=true keeps only the caller's favourites.

Use it to:

  • Type-ahead task picker that shows the tasks the user worked on recently at the top

Not for:

  • Only tasks the caller has registered on → GET /v1/task/get-recently-registered
  • Newest task first → GET /v1/task/search-for-time-tracking
  • One project / customer → …searchfortimetrackingbyprojectrecent / …searchfortimetrackingbycustomerrecent

Behaviour:

  • Idempotent.
  • Safe to retry.
  • Consistency: eventual

Next: POST /v1/task/registration, POST /v1/time-registration
