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.

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.
  • Pref -
