Function Overview
Pandora functions are are divided into a number of types.
- Session Level Functions – these functions are used to manage the session associated with the processing being performed.
- Information Finding Functions – these functions are used to retrieve multi-record recordsets based on provided criteria.
- List functions
- Update Functions – these functions are used to create new entities within the system.
- Utility functions – these functions provide additional general functionality to the API.
Session Level Functions
These functions are used to enable a valid session in which process can be performed and once created, determine user and related organisation attributes. Unless a function is established, no functionality is available.
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| Session_Login (Find) | Enables Login to the instance. |
| session_logout(flag,callbackfunc) | Enables logout of the instance. |
| session_islogin(flag,callbackfunc) | Retrieve active user information. |
| Session_getCurrentUser (Find) | Retrieve the current user information. |
| Session_getCurrentCompany (Find) | Retrieve the current user’s organisational information. |
Information Finding Functions
These functions return record sets containing multiple records based on the filter passed to the functions. Each of these functions uses the following parameters:
- Fields – the fields list to be retrieved and created in the recordset. Notes an ID field will be prefixed onto the user specified field list providing the unique identifier for each record.
- Filter – the criteria by which fields should be retrieved.
- Order – the field list to control the sort sequence of the records set.
- Start – the starting record to be returned. The default is 0.
- End – the end record to be returned. The default is 200.

General Guidelines
The following guides are common to all function calls.
Referencing Fields
- Standard fields are referenced by name as 'firstname,lastname'. (see Database Field Names)
- Custom fields should be referenced by field name as '$fieldname1$,$fieldname2$' (recommended)
- Custom fields can also be reference by field ID as 'cf_123456'
- Fields specified will be the fields returned to the recordset
- When referencing the fields in the recordset, the first parameter is always the record index.
- If the fieldlist parameter is empty the Standard fields will be returned.
