<Type> Element

As a child of the <Mask> or <WBSMask> elements, <Type> is the type of code string for first-level tasks (numbers or letters, or unordered characters).

In a <Task>, <Type> is the type of task (fixed units, fixed duration, or fixed work).

In a <PredecessorLink>, it is the type of task link (FF, FS, SF or SS).

In a <Resource>, it is the type of resource (material or work).

In <TimephasedData>, <Type> is one of the 76 types of timephased data.
