    Utilize this method to execute a query designed to fetch comprehensive information, delivering all results in a singular response. If necessary, the method returns a portion of the results along with an identifier to retrieve the remaining data.

    Leverage the search service to extract the requisite information from the system effectively.

    The method returns a list structured with an extended Department representation. In this format, all foreign key fields are depicted as abstract object structures, employing AbstractText or AbstractLong data types. This offers an enriched and detailed perspective of the data and its associated entities.

    The foreign key fields involved are: DepartmentTypeId, ParentDepartmentId, OwnerId, CountryId, ModifiedBy, CreatedBy

    Example

    It searches for employees whose data has been modified since January 1, 2022, and belong to departments with external system identifiers DE001 and DE002. The system responds by returning the name, external identifier, and email address of the relevant employees. The retrieved information is organized in ascending order by the person's name, and a limit is set to return a maximum of 1000 rows.

    fields=Name,ExternalId,Email&Filters=(DepartmentId.ExternalId In DE001;DE002) AND (ModifiedOn > 2022-01-01)&Orders=Name ASC&PageSize=1000

    Query parameters
    Fields
    string

    Specify the fields you want to retrieve in the fields parameter and use the GET method of the resource.

    The list of database column attributes. If list is empty or "*" then all of fields will be returned.

    This method converts a string list to a string with a comma separator.

    Example:

    Id, ExternalId, Name, DepartmentTypeId, ParentDepartmentId, HierarchicalName, Level, ContactName, ContactEmail, ContactPhone, OwnerId, CountryId, Is_Active, ModifiedOn, ModifiedBy, CreatedBy, CreatedOn
    Filters
    string

    In the List methods, filtering of resources can be performed using filter parameters.

    You can also use parent tables as a search filter. For example, the Employee table has a DepartmentId field, so you can search for a department name using the DepartmentId.Name field name. All fields in the parent table are available.

    The name of the entity field. Example: Name or relation field OwnerId.Name

    Please refer to the corresponding method's documentation for the complete list of supported filter parameters by record.

    The operator must be a standard comparison operator =, <>, >, >=, <, <=, In, Like, NotIn

    You can add multiple values separated by comma when using the In, NotIn operators. Example of text field; USA; FIN; ARE Example of numeric field; 1, 2, 3

    Example of filters:

    Filters=(DepartmentId.Name = My Department) AND (DepartmentId.CreatedOn = 2021-01-01)

Filters=(DepartmentId.Name = My Department 1) OR (DepartmentId.ExternalId In DE001;DE002)

Filters=ExternalId In S100;S101;S120;100

Filters=Id = 100
    Orders
    string

    The Orders parameter is provided for sorting the result in the desired order. Both the attribute based on which sorting needs to be done, and the order of sorting (ascending or descending) can be specified. This method converts a string list to a string with a comma separator.

    Example:

    Name DESC, CreatedOn ASC
    CurrentPage
    integer (int32)

    This field specifies the current page of results being returned. It's often used in conjunction with PageSize to manage pagination by indicating which subset of the total data is currently being retrieved.

    Default0
    PageSize
    integer (int32)

    The field indicates the number of items returned in a single page or response. It helps clients determine how many items to display per page and how to request additional pages if needed.

    The value ranges from 1 to 1000 and defaults to 50.

    Default0
