Dissecting the task definition file
Importing task definitions can be extremely useful when you want to create a large number of tasks in Sense, but setting up the task definitions file can be a bit tricky. This page explains how to do it.
Page contents:
- Task file examples
- Example 1: Single reload task with no triggers
- Example 2: Single reload task with schema trigger
- Example 3: Single reload task triggered by existing reload task
- Example 4: Two reload tasks, one triggering the other
- Example 5: External program task, triggered by schema event
- Example 6: External program task, triggered by existing tasks
- Example 7: Complex example with multiple tasks and triggers
All example below use Windows Terminal/PowerShell.
Task file examples
The task definition file is a CSV or Excel file that contains all the information needed to create tasks in Sense.
Below you find increasingly complex examples of how to use the task definition file.
Example 1: Single reload task with no triggers
One tag, one custom property, no triggers.
A new task is created.

Example 2: Single reload task with schema trigger
A single schema trigger called “weekly” is added to the created task.

Example 3: Single reload task triggered by existing reload task
The newly created task will be triggered by an already existing task, identified by its task ID.

Example 4: Two reload tasks, one triggering the other
Two new tasks are created.
- The first task is triggered by an hourly schema trigger.
- The second is triggered by successful completion of the first one, plus a daily schema trigger.

Example 7: Complex example with multiple tasks and triggers
Note that some composite trigger rules (the ones with UUIDs in them) refer to tasks that already exist in Sense, and some (e.g. “task-2”) refer to tasks that are defined in the task definition file itself.
The flowchart becomes quite complex for this example:

💡 Tip
The “Rule task name” field for composite trigger rules can contain any information.
It is not used when determining which upstream task the task should be triggered by, but it is convenient to have a human-readable name there.
