The MS_GUITASKTREEROOT configuration variable can be used to control which tasks and workflows are available in the Tasks dialog. There are two ways to do this.

If you are using the product in a language that uses single-byte characters, like English, Spanish, or French, you can set the MS_GUITASKTREEROOT configuration variable to the names of the tasks and workflows that you want to appear. The MS_GUITASKTREEROOT configuration variable can be set to one or more ASCII paths, one or more filenames, or a combination of both. If a task contains sub-tasks, the sub-tasks will also appear in the Tasks dialog. Here are some examples.

MS_GUITASKTREEROOT is set to multiple ASCII paths:

MS_GUITASKTREEROOT = Schematic Design\Research;Schematic
Design\Building Conceptual Modeling;
MS_GUITASKTREEROOT > Schematic Design\Drawing;Schematic
Design\Building Visualization;Schematic Design\Compose Drawing Set

MS_GUITASKTREEROOT is set to multiple file names:

MS_GUITASKTREEROOT = $(_USTN_PROJECTDATA)data/building_taskroots1.xml
MS_GUITASKTREEROOT > $(_USTN_PROJECTDATA)data/building_taskroots2.xml

MS_GUITASKTREEROOT is set to ASCII paths and file names:

MS_GUITASKTREEROOT = Schematic Design\Research;Schematic
Design\Building Conceptual Modeling;
MS_GUITASKTREEROOT > $(_USTN_PROJECTDATA)data/building_taskroots2.xml

If you are using the product in a language that uses double-byte characters, like Chinese, Korean, or Japanese, the MS_GUITASKTREEROOT configuration variable must be set to the location of one or more XML files that contain the names of the tasks and workflows that you want to appear. The tasks' names are in your language. If a task contains sub-tasks, the sub-tasks will also appear in the Tasks dialog. Multiple XML filenames must be separated by a semicolon. In this example, MS_GUITASKTREEROOT is set to the location of two XML files:

MS_GUITASKTREEROOT = c:\building_taskroots1.xml; building_taskroots2.xml

The building_taskroots1.xml file's syntax looks like this:

<ConfigurationRoot>
<RootTasks>
<TaskPath>Schematic Design\Research</TaskPath>
<TaskPath>Schematic Design\Building Conceptual Modeling</TaskPath>
</RootTasks>
</ConfigurationRoot>

The building_taskroots2.xml file's syntax looks like this:

<ConfigurationRoot>
<RootTasks>
<TaskPath>Schematic Design\Drawing</TaskPath>
<TaskPath>Schematic Design\Building Visualization</TaskPath>
<TaskPath>Schematic Design\Compose Drawing Set</TaskPath>
</RootTasks>
</ConfigurationRoot>
