Transaction Characteristics

Get multiple Transaction Characteristic Items

Read the data for multiple Transaction Characteristic Items.

The 20 Transaction Characteristics (User1 through User20) that allow you to customize your Alliant system using the business terms with which you are familiar, and to define as much, or as little, information about a Transaction Characteristic as you require. Each user-customizable Transaction Characteristic can be customized by specifying a name (such as Products, Languages, Distributors, and so forth), assigning Admin Classes, configuring User-Defined Tabs, and adding User-Defined Fields, Adjustments, Data Queries, and Web Pages to the UD Tabs. You can then create the Transaction Characteristic Items that are used throughout your Alliant system. User-customizable Transaction Characteristics can be selected for use for Participants, User-Defined Event Types, Statement Groups, Payment Methods, or Countries, and can be configured to use the Automatic ID Generation feature.

Note: This endpoint description applies to all 20 user-customizible Transaction Characteristics (User1-User20). Make sure that you replace UserX or udKeyX with the appropriate Transaction Characteristic value in the endpoint URI and property names (for example, User1 or udKey1).

query Parameters
$filter
string

Use the $filter parameter to filter returned data Items in a manner similar to the Alliant User Applications column filter. This parameter uses the following format: {filterBy} {operator} {value}

  • filterBy is the name of a property, the name of a Reference property specified as referenceProperty.property, or the name of Reference property for quality or inequality comparisons to null.

  • operator – specify one of the following operators:

    Operator Description filterBy datatype
    contains Contains String/Text
    endswith Ends with String/Text
    startswith Starts with String/Text
    eq Equals String/Text, Integer, Small Integer, Flag/Boolean, Reference property eq null
    ne Does not equal String/Text, Integer, Small Integer, Flag/Boolean, Reference property ne null
    le Less than or equal to String/Text, Integer, Small Integer, Flag/Boolean, DateTime
    lt Less than String/Text, Integer, Small Integer, Flag/Boolean, DateTime
    ge Greater than or equal to String/Text, Integer, Small Integer, Flag/Boolean, DateTime
    gt Greater than String/Text, Integer, Small Integer, Flag/Boolean, DateTime
  • value is the value to which the operator is applied. The value should be enclosed in single quotes unless the value is an Integer or Small Integer

You can use the and and or operators to combine multiple filter parameter criteria.

Examples:
The response includes only data Items with a displayName value that contains 'rin'
$filter=displayName contains 'rin'
The response includes only data Items with a comment value that ends with 'ing'
$filter=comment endswith 'ing'
The response includes only data Items with a description value that starts with 'str'
$filter=description startswith 'str'
The response includes a single data Item with an id value equal to 'ABC123'
$filter=id eq 'ABC123'
The response includes only data Items with a udfVersionNumber value equal to 1
$filter=udfVersionNumber ge 1
The response includes only data Items with a displayName value that starts with 'rin' or data Items with a comment value that ends with 'ing' and data Items with description value that starts with 'str'
$filter=(displayName contains 'rin' or comment endswith 'ing') and description startswith 'str'
The response includes only data Items that have no Admin Class
$filter=adminClassReference eq null
$orderby
string

Use the $orderby parameter to specify the sort order of the returned data Items. You can specify a property or a property of a Reference property followed by asc or desc to sort returned data Items by a property in ascending or descending order.

Note: When this parameter is not specified, the returned data Items are sorted by Display Name in ascending order.

Examples:
ascending sort by property1
$orderby=property1
descending sort by property1 of the referenceProperty
$orderby=referenceProperty.property1 desc
$top
integer

Use the $top parameter to specify the maximum number of Items to return. When you do not specify this parameter, 20 Items are returned by default. When you specify the verbose parameter, the maximum number of Items that you can request 100. When you specify the minimal or default parameters, the maximum number of Items that you can request 1000. This query parameter combined with $skip query parameter can be used to facilitate paging.

Examples:
The response includes 30 data Items
$top=30
$skip
integer

Use the $skip parameter to specify the number of Items to skip from the first result. This query parameter combined with the $top query parameter can be used to facilitate paging. For example, $skip=20&$top=20 returns the second page of 20 Items.

Examples:
The response includes data Items that follow the first 30 data Items
$skip=30
downloadAttachments
boolean

Use the downloadAttachments parameter to include Attachment data in the response. You must include either the verbose parameter or the include={ItemType}Attachments parameter when you want to include Attachment data in the response. Attachment data is returned in the _data property in base64 encoded format. When you do not include the downloadAttachments parameter but you include the verbose parameter or the include={ItemType}Attachments parameter, you can use the value in the the _downloadUrl properties to download Attachments directly.

Update a Transaction Characteristic Item

Update the data for a specific Transaction Characteristic Item.

The 20 Transaction Characteristics (User1 through User20) that allow you to customize your Alliant system using the business terms with which you are familiar, and to define as much, or as little, information about a Transaction Characteristic as you require. Each user-customizable Transaction Characteristic can be customized by specifying a name (such as Products, Languages, Distributors, and so forth), assigning Admin Classes, configuring User-Defined Tabs, and adding User-Defined Fields, Adjustments, Data Queries, and Web Pages to the UD Tabs. You can then create the Transaction Characteristic Items that are used throughout your Alliant system. User-customizable Transaction Characteristics can be selected for use for Participants, User-Defined Event Types, Statement Groups, Payment Methods, or Countries, and can be configured to use the Automatic ID Generation feature.

The request body that you submit should include all of the properties that you want to update. When you want to update a UD Field Lookup Item, Child Data Item, Cross-Reference Item, or Adjustments on Tab Item, you must specify a value for the _action subproperty. The following actions are available for UD Field Lookup Items, Child Data Items, and Adjustments on Tab:

· add – specify this action when you want to add a new Item.

· delete – specify this action when you want to delete an Item.

· update – specify this action when you want to update data for an Item.

The following actions are available for Cross-Reference Items:

· add – specify this action when you want to add a Cross-Reference Item.

· update – specify this action when you want to update data for a Cross-Reference Item.

When you want to create a Transaction Characteristic Item with a linked Adjustment, you must first submit a POST Request to create the Transaction Characteristic Item. You must then submit a PUT or PATCH Request to update the Transaction Characteristic Item with the Adjustment information.

Note: When you submit a request to add or delete Child or Cross-reference Items, the request is not idempotent. When you specify an _action value for a Child or Cross-reference Item, the action supercedes the behaviour indicated by the HTTP verb for the Child or Cross-reference Item. In this scenario, the request is similar to an HTTP PATCH request.

Note: This endpoint description applies to all 20 user-customizible Transaction Characteristics (User1-User20). Make sure that you replace UserX or udKeyX with the appropriate Transaction Characteristic value in the endpoint URI and property names (for example, User1 or udKey1).

Update a Transaction Characteristic Item

Update the data for a specific Transaction Characteristic Item.

The 20 Transaction Characteristics (User1 through User20) that allow you to customize your Alliant system using the business terms with which you are familiar, and to define as much, or as little, information about a Transaction Characteristic as you require. Each user-customizable Transaction Characteristic can be customized by specifying a name (such as Products, Languages, Distributors, and so forth), assigning Admin Classes, configuring User-Defined Tabs, and adding User-Defined Fields, Adjustments, Data Queries, and Web Pages to the UD Tabs. You can then create the Transaction Characteristic Items that are used throughout your Alliant system. User-customizable Transaction Characteristics can be selected for use for Participants, User-Defined Event Types, Statement Groups, Payment Methods, or Countries, and can be configured to use the Automatic ID Generation feature.

The request body that you submit should include all of the properties that you want to update. When you want to update a UD Field Lookup Item, Child Data Item, Cross-Reference Item, or Adjustments on Tab Item, you must specify a value for the _action subproperty. The following actions are available for UD Field Lookup Items, Child Data Items, and Adjustments on Tab:

· add – specify this action when you want to add a new Item.

· delete – specify this action when you want to delete an Item.

· update – specify this action when you want to update data for an Item.

The following actions are available for Cross-Reference Items:

· add – specify this action when you want to add a Cross-Reference Item.

· update – specify this action when you want to update data for a Cross-Reference Item.

When you want to create a Transaction Characteristic Item with a linked Adjustment, you must first submit a POST Request to create the Transaction Characteristic Item. You must then submit a PUT or PATCH Request to update the Transaction Characteristic Item with the Adjustment information.

Note: This endpoint description applies to all 20 user-customizible Transaction Characteristics (User1-User20). Make sure that you replace UserX or udKeyX with the appropriate Transaction Characteristic value in the endpoint URI and property names (for example, User1 or udKey1).

Example: 6c556cd8-ac27-4167-844c-f00ddb170b3f
query Parameters
minimal
boolean

When you specify this Verbosity parameter, the _timestamp, _type, displayName, and guid properties are returned.

default
boolean

Use this Verbosity parameter option when you want Alliant API to return a response that includes all properties for the Item, including UD Fields. This is the default option that is used when no Verbosity parameter is provided.

verbose
boolean

Use this Verbosity parameter option when you want Alliant API to return UD Field Lookups, Adjustments on Tab, Child Collection, and Cross-Reference properties in addition to the properties from the default Verbosity level.

Note: Using this parameter may affect performance and should only be used when necessary.

include
string

Use this Verbosity parameter to specify the properties to include in the response, separated by commas. You can also specify that you want to include Adjustments on Tab, Cross-Reference data Items, Child Items, and Child fields in the response. When you set the Verbosity of the response to minimal or default, Items only display as much information as the Verbosity parameter allows. You can use the ChildDataItem.ChildPropertyName syntax to specify when you want to return additional Child properties.

Note: When the values specified in the include parameter are not valid, the query parameter is ignored and a warning is added to warnings property of the Standard Response.

Examples:
response includes property1, childItem1 child collection, childProperty2 of childItem2 collection, udLookup_UDField1 UD Field lookup collection.
include=property1,childItem1,childItem2.childProperty2,udLookup_UDField1
exclude
string

Use this Verbosity parameter to specify the properties to exclude from the response, separated by commas. You can also specify that you want to exclude Adjustments on Tab, Cross-Reference data Items, Child Items, and Child fields from the response. You can use the ChildDataItem.ChildPropertyName syntax to specify when you want to exclude specific Child properties.

Note: When the values specified in the exclude parameter are not valid, the query parameter is ignored and a warning is added to warnings property of the Standard Response.

Examples:
response includes all properies according to Verbosity parameter, except for property1, childItem1 collection, childProperty2 of childItem2 collection, and udLookup_UDField1 UD Field lookup collection.
exclude=property1,childItem1,childItem2.childProperty2,udLookup_UDField1
contextReplace
string

Use this parameter to specify the properties with context replaced values in the response, separated by commas. You can also specify that you want to context replace values for all properties by specifying all.
