The structure of requests

The standard request has the following structure:

  1. Configuration
  2. Client
  3. Addressee
  4. Priority

You can place these properties in any order.


1. Configuration

In this section, you define fields and their properties to be shown on the Document registration form. All available fields and custom fields, if there are any, must be specified in the JSON request. If the field will not be used on the Document registration form, you must specify the following property for it: "visible\":\"None\". If the field will be used, the following property must be defined for it: \"visible\":\"Visible\".

The syntax to start defining configuration is "Config":. Remember to follow JSON syntax.

This is a list of the default fields that you can use on the Document registration form:

  • Title
  • DocumentType
  • Classification
  • State
  • CaseHandler

Other available fields are:

  • ResponsibleUnit
  • ActingUnit
  • Case
  • MainDocument
  • DocumentGroup
  • DocumentNumber
  • Origin
  • MailList
  • LetterDate
  • ReplyDeadline
  • Keywords
  • Text
  • CreatedBy
  • CreatedDate
  • VersionNumber
  • Replied
  • SentFrom
  • ArchivingForm
  • PostalDate
  • RetentionDate
  • Type

Along with the available default fields, you can define the following custom fields that are specific for your organization:

  • Text
  • Data
  • Unique
  • Droplist
  • Integer
  • Decimal
  • Address
  • Contact
  • Employee
  • Unit
  • Case
  • Document

The following validation rules can be set in the WorkZone Configurator for the Text and Unique fields: CVR number, Email address, and Web address.

See more about custom fields in the Administrator Guide for WorkZone Configurator. You can add these fields to the WorkZone 365 configuration using Postman. See more about Postman in Work with Postman. For an example of a JSON request for creating the custom document fields, see Add custom document fields.


Common properties

In the table below you can find a list of the properties that are applicable to all fields. The required properties must be specified in the JSON request.

  • Be aware that the WorkZone 365 User Guide will contain the default names in descriptions, which might confuse users.

  • Once you change a label to a custom value, it will be applied to all languages. In other words, you cannot localize custom labels.

To set the proper number, please see the configuration file. This is the only way to define what number is relevant for your configuration at this moment.

required

required

 'true', 'false'
  • 'true' – the field is required.
  • 'false' – the field is optional.

 'true', 'false'
  • 'true' – the field is read-only.
  • 'false' – the field is available for editing.

  • 'Visible' – users can see the field
  • 'None' – users don't see the field.

.odataEntity

string

Specify content of the field. You can find the full list of dataEntities in the dataEntities table.

 

optional

.filter

string

Define a filter for the entity. For example, you might want to only show cases with the 'Open' state.


2. Client

For WorkZone 365, always use this syntax: "Client":"WZO".


3. Addressee

Define to whom the configuration must be applied. Use the following syntax: "NameKey_Value":"XXX", where XXX value can be:

  • a user with the current ID value
  • a unit with the current NameKey value
  • the entire organization if the value is empty.


4. Priority

Define a priority of the configuration by using the following syntax: "Priority":"X", where X is the integer number. The highest priority is 9, the lowest priority is 1. If multiple configurations of the same type exist, priority helps to define which configuration must be prioritized.

Configurations cannot be of the same type with equal priority. Otherwise, WorkZone 365 issues an error and none of such configurations are applied.
