The timecard SOAP API

The timecard SOAP API is similar to the EService SOAP API, in that it provides methods for retrieving, updating, and deleting data stored on the server.

The API is published seperately at the moment, as another interface for linking into the timecard server, although there is some progress on integrating the two products together in a future release.

The Interface Definition

Below are listed the various functions that make up the timecard API. Each function is called, passing in at least one parameter, a UserIDBean. This bean contains the user name and password of a previously registered EService User, with administrative rights. This ensures only authorised users are able to access the interface.

Timecard User Management Functions

Method Summary
createUser Creates a new user based on the user data passed in.
getUserDetail Gets all the details of a specified user.
updateUser Updates a particular user with new details.
updateUserPassword Updates a user's password.
deleteUser Deletes an existing user.
getUnsynchronisedUsers Retrieves all users who have not previously been synchronised and acknowledged, and all users that have changed since their last synchronisation.
ackUserSynchronisation Acknowledges that synchronisation has been performed on the selected users.

Timecard Field Device Management Functions

Method Summary
createFieldDevice Creates a new field device based on the field device data passed in.
getFieldDeviceDetail Gets the full set of details for a specified field device.
getFieldDeviceDetails Gets the full set of details for all specified field devices.
getFieldDeviceDetailsUpdatedSince Gets the full set of details for all field devices that have been updated since the specified date and time.
updateFieldDevice Updates a field device with new details.
deleteFieldDevice Marks a field device as deleted.
getFieldDevicePKForName Gets the primary key of a field device, based on the name passed in.
getFieldDevicePKForDeviceID Gets the primary key of a field device, based on the device id passed in.

Timecard functions to Retrieve Raw Event Data

Returns Method Parameters Description
Array of EventObjectBean getUserEvents UserIDBean, userPrimaryKey, start date, end date For a given user in a selected period, retrieves clock in/out dates and times and task descriptions.
Array of EventObjectBean getAllUserEvents UserIDBean, start date, end date Retrieves clock in/out dates and times and task descriptions for all users in a selected period.
Array of EventObjectBean getUnsynchronizedEvents UserIDBean, synchronisationID, createdOnOrAfter Retrieves array of EventObject (detailed further below) that have not previously been synchronized and acknowledged and all events that have changed since their last synchronization.
return ackEventSynchronization UserIDBean, EventSynchronizationBean Acknowledges that synchronization has been performed on the selected events.

Methods to Retrieve Processed Data

Returns Method Parameters Description
HourBreakdownBean getUserHoursSummary UserIDBean, UserPrimaryKey, start, end Gets the hourly breakdown for a single user.
Array of HourBreakdownBean getHourSummaries UserIDBean, start, end Hourly breakdowns for all users in the given time period.
Array of Strings getUserTypeNames UserIDBean Returns array of UserType Names.
Array of OverTimeRuleBean getOvertimeRules UserIDBean Returns array of OverTimeRule.
