Description

ReportingData

The schema for the reporting data in the ProjectData service.

Child elements are properties of a business driver department and navigation properties of that business driver department. Attributes of the Property elements specify the property name and type, and whether the property can be a null value. The NavigationProperty elements specify collections of entities, such as tasks and assignments, that are associated with a business driver department. A navigation property uses an Association element in a query for a related entity or collection

The Key elements specify the properties that are the primary keys for a query for a business driver department. BusinessDriverId is the GUID of the business driver department and DepartmentId is the GUID of the department of the business driver.
