Project field filtering in All Filters List Documents API

  • We've added a new request field projectFieldsJSON to the All Filters List Documents API.
  • This field supports all types of Project Fields including single, multi and date values. The previous projectFields field only supported single value project fields.
  • With the introduction of this new field you must use either the existing field for project fields projectFields or the new field projectFieldsJSON based on your requirement. You cannot use both in your request.
  • If you only need to search single value project fields the current field projectFields can be used.
  • For all types of project fields (single, multi, date etc), you can use the new field projectFieldsJSON.
  • We recommend using the new field projectFieldsJSON for all requirements as it supports all project field types.

 

Improved date filtering in All Filters List Documents

  • We've added new request fields for date1 and date2.
  • Some date fields were not filtering by specified dates and instead returned all results. We've fixed these so they now filter correctly.
  • We also renamed those request fields for consistency. See the table below:
Old field name New field name
forReviewDate forreview
forReviewDate1 forreview1
forReviewDate2 forreview2
forReviewDateQualifier forreviewQualifier
reviewedDate1 reviewed1
reviewedDate2 reviewed2
reviewedDateQualifier reviewedQualifier
toClientDate1 toclient1
toClientDate2 toclient2
toClientDateQualifier toclientQualifier

 

Easier metadata updates

  • API customers can now update their document's metadata without uploading an updated document.

 

File upload size limit on HK1 and CN1

  • We've removed the file upload limit when uploading files via API on Aconex Oracle Instances CN1 and HK1.
  • There are reasonable limits that apply to both volume and frequency of requests. Read about Performance throttling and limits with Aconex APIs.

 

We fixed a bug

  • List documents API wasn't ordering correctly. When retrieving documents by descending order, the returned list of documents was filtering to the nearest second. This has now been fixed so the ordering of returned documents appear in the exact order (to the nearest millisecond) they were registered.

 

In other news

  • GraphQL APIs are currently not supported. Your API will continue to function.
