Important Note about Q4 Web Service Changes : Due to security concerns and core application changes such as performance optimizations and the addition of new features, several web service methods will be changed in our upcoming 2015 Q4 release.
If you are utilizing the following methods you will need to update your code when 2015 Q4 is released:
- ExportResponsesTabular in the response data service
- ListEmailPanelsByPeriod method in the invitation management service
The changes are as follows :
- The ExportResponsesTabular method will be receiving both a signature update as well as an update to data returned in the next release. This update is in response to the new "Score by Page" feature added in the Q3 release. A new temporary method has been added in the 2015 Q3 release to help you prepare for the Q4 update. This method is named : ExportResponsesTabularScored.
- This new method will be removed when 2015 Q4 is released, but will return the exact data, and have the same input variables that ExportResponseTabular will have after the Q4 release. We have added this method so that you can utilize it to prepare your client side code to take in the new fields that are being returned due to the scoring feature.
- ListEmailPanelsByPeriod will receive a signature update only. The method signature will be adjusted to remove the "Permission" input variable which has not been used by the method for some time.
Please note that if you do not adjust your client side code once Q4 has been released your code will not function properly.
If you have any questions or concerns please submit a support ticket and we will do our best to provide the necessary information to prepare for these updates.
If you are not utilizing these methods, your code and your usage of the application should not be affected.
