User Levels In DocBoss Explained (Updated)
Did you know that you can not only have as many DocBoss users as you like, you can choose the…
The “Add Doc Code to Project” API call in DocBoss allows you to programmatically add document codes (categories) to an existing project. Another great example of how DocBoss automates tasks you might currently do manually.
The doc codes than can be added must already exist on the company doc code list selected for use on the project. New doc codes cannot be created using this call.
When a doc code is added, the settings configured on the company list (e.g., doc code type, stage list, etc.) will be inherited into the project. However, the level will not be inherited and will only be set if the parameter is defined from the API call (via the “level” parameter).
If mapping to internal codes is enabled on the project and the company doc code is mapped to an internal code, the internal code will be inherited into the project, too.
Importantly, if the option to “Always load all field values from this list, NOT from mapped codes” is unchecked on the company doc code list, the settings configured on the internal code will be inherited into the project INSTEAD OF the settings configured on the company list.
