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.

Element Properties for <Mask> or <WBSMask>

Property | Value
--- | ---
Data Type | Integer
| The type of code string for first-level tasks:
0 | Numbers (ordered); a numeric WBS code for this level (default).
1 | Uppercase Letters (ordered); uppercase, alphabetical WBS codes (for example, A, B, and C for the first three summary tasks in the project).
2 | Lowercase Letters (ordered); lowercase, alphabetical WBS codes (for example, a, b, and c for the first three summary tasks in the project).
3 | Characters (unordered); any combination of numbers and uppercase or lowercase letters (for example, Arch1, Const1, or Insp1) for the first three summary tasks in the project. Microsoft Office Project 2003 displays an asterisk (*) in the custom outline field until you type or enter a string of characters for this code.
