Keyword | statussheet

Purpose | A status sheet can be used to capture the status of various tasks outside of the regular task tree definition. It is intended for use by managers that don't directly work with the full project plan, but need to report the current status of each task or task-tree that they are responsible for.
Syntax | `statussheet <reporter> <interval4> [{ <attributes> }]`
Arguments | reporter | The ID of a defined resource. This identifies the status reporter. Unless the status entries provide a different author, the sheet author will be used as status entry author.
interval4 | See interval4 for details.
Context | properties

Attributes | task (statussheet)
