GetProjectsByData

Retrieves a list of projects associated with the given program that are read-accessible to the user that have the data field content specified as specified by the request body. Important limitation: the data fields to be queried on MUST be on the dashboard in a column that’s visible to the calling user. The calling user MUST be in a role that has Access Breadth set to All Projects in the given program.
 
HTTP verb: POST
Required inputs: ProgramId

Why a POST request and not a GET request?

HTTP specifications say that GET responses can’t depend on a body and with a POST body the request is not restricted by URL length.

URL Format

Format: https://{BaseURL}/Programs/{ProgramId}/Projects/ByData
 
Sample: https://{BaseURL}/Programs/1HF29X4P/Projects/ByData

Sample Request


Note: Request payloads must include the namespace "http://service.powerclerk.com/api/v1" (see below).

Request XML Nodes and Attributes

<DataFields> Node

Contains the set of data fields, the content to look for and the operator to apply. Only projects that satisfy all conditions are returned.
 

<Field> Node

Describes the comparison to apply per field.
 
Attributes:
Id – Unique identifier of the data field, Custom ID allowable if set. Field MUST be on the dashboard, in a column accessible to the calling user. Read more about Project Views in the Support Center.
Content – value to look for. For DateTime fields, format MUST be yyyy-MM-dd’T’HH:mm:ss in UTC.
Operator – identifies the comparison to applied in between the data fields content and the value of the Content attribute. Must be one of:

  • “eq” : value must equal Content (valid for all data types)
  • “neq” : value must NOT equal Content (valid for all data types)
  • “lt” : value must be less than Content (valid for data types DateTime, Decimal and Integer)
  • “lte” : value must be less than or equal Content (valid for data types DateTime, Decimal and Integer)
  • “gt” : value must be greater than Content (valid for data types DateTime, Decimal and Integer)
  • “gte” : value must be greater than or equal Content (valid for data types DateTime, Decimal and Integer)

 

<FilterByCurrentStatuses> Node

Contains the statuses that projects must be in that are looked at.
Operation – If set to “Exclude”, all projects in statuses contained in the list will be excluded. If set to “Include” or omitted, the response only includes projects in those statuses.
 

<Status> Node

Defines which statuses to filter the results on, based on the Operation attribute of the parent node.
 
Attributes:
Id – Unique identifier of the status, Custom ID allowable if set

<FilterByStatusDate> Node

Allows to specify what status in the project history must have reached by what date in order to be included. If this node is not specified, projects are examined regardless of history.
 
Attributes:
Id – Unique identifier of the status, Custom ID allowable if set
DateTime – point in time to compare the given status history entry to. Must be in format yyyy-MM-dd’T’HH:mm:ss in UTC.
Operator – identifies the comparison to applied in between the data fields content and the value of the DateTime attribute
