Field Manager (REST)

The Field Manager service provides multiple endpoints for programmatically working with field types supported by Relativity, including multiple choice, fixed-length text, date, and others. This service supports create, read, update, and delete operations on fields. Additionally, it includes helper endpoints for retrieving the following information:

  • Object types available to create fields on.
  • Associative object types for creating single object fields.
  • Associative object types for creating multiple object fields.
  • Views available for a specific object type.
  • Keyboard shortcuts that are currently defined in a workspace.
  • Keys that are valid for use in a keyboard shortcut.
  • Fields available for use with propagation.
  • Order of relational field icons in the Related Items pane of the core reviewer interface.

Sample use cases for the Field Manager service include programmatically adding new fields to a custom application as data requirements change, or creating new keyboard shortcuts for fields to support modified workflows for users.

The same functionality for this service is available through the REST API. For more information, see Field Manager (.NET).

Postman sample file

You can use the Postman sample file to become familiar with making calls to endpoints on Field Manager service. To download the sample file, click FieldAPIPostmanFile.zip.

To get started with Postman, complete these steps:

  1. Obtain access to a Relativity environment. You need a username and password to make calls to your environment.
  2. Install Postman.
  3. Import the Postman sample file for the service. For more information, see Working with data files on the Postman web site.
  4. Select an endpoint. Update the URL with the domain for your Relativity environment and any other variables.
  5. In the Authorization tab, set the Type to Basic Auth, enter your Relativity credentials, and click Update Request.
  6. See the following sections on this page for more information on setting required fields for a request.
  7. Click Send to make a request.

Client code sample

To use the Field Manager service, send requests by making calls with the required HTTP methods. See the following base URL for this service:

<host>/Relativity.rest/api/Relativity-Object-Model/{versionNumber}/workspaces/{{workspaceID}}/

You can use the following .NET code as a sample client for creating a fixed-length text field. This code illustrates how to perform the following tasks:

  • Instantiate an HttpClient object for sending requests to the Field Manager service.
  • Set the required headers for the request. For information on setting headers, see HTTP headers.
  • Initialize variables with the values for the field to create.
  • Set the url variable to the URL for the workspace where the field is to be added. For more information, see Create a field.
  • Set the JSON input required for the operation.
  • Use the PostAsync() method to send a POST request.
  • Return the results of the request and deserialize it.

Guidelines for the Field Manager service

Review the following guidelines for the Field Manager service.

The URLs for REST endpoints contain path parameters that you need to set before making a call:

  • Set {versionNumber} to the version of the API, using the format lowercase v and the version number, such as v1.
  • Set other path parameters in the URLs to the Artifact ID of a given entity, such as {workspaceID} to the Artifact ID of a workspace.

    • Note: To indicate the admin-level context, set the {workspaceID} path parameter to -1.

Supported field types

Use the Field Manager service to work with the same field types available through the Relativity UI. For general information about fields, see Fields on the RelativityOne Documentation site.

Relational fields

To edit properties for relational fields, the IsRelational field must be set to true. You can then edit the FriendlyName, ImportBehavior, PaneIcon, Order, and RelationalView properties. Set these fields as follows:

  • Set the ImportBehavior property to one of the following values:
    • None - indicates that no import behavior is specified.
    • LeaveBlankValuesUnchanged - indicates that the values for the fields are imported as blank.
    • ReplaceBlankValuesWithIdentifier - indicates that blank relational fields are updated with an identifier.
  • Set the properties on a PaneIcon object as follows:
    • Optionally, set the value for the FileName field for the pane icon.
    • Set the ImageBase64 property to the base64 format.

Overlay behavior

Set the value for the OverlayBehavior property to one of the following values. For more information, see the OverlayBehavior enumeration in the Relativity.ObjectModel.{versionNumber}.Field.Models namespace.

  • ReplaceValues - replaces existing field values with the new ones from the load file.
  • MergeValues - merges existing values with the new ones from the load file.

Filter types

Set the FilterType property to one of the following values. For more information, see the FilterType enumeration in the Relativity.ObjectModel.{versionNumber}.Field.Models namespace.

  • None - used for all field types.
  • List - used for currency, decimal, fixed-length text, multiple choice, single choice, user, and whole number field types.
  • MultiList - used for single choice, multiple choice, and multi-object field types.
  • Popup - used for single choice, multiple choice, single object, and multiple object field types. Only usable when the FilterType property is set to Popup.
  • Boolean - used for Yes/No field types.
  • TextBox - used for currency, date, decimal, fixed-length text, long text, single object, multiple object, and whole number field types.
  • Custom - used for currency, date, decimal, fixed-length text and whole number field types.
  • DatePicker - used for date field types.

Filter types for date and user fields

The Field Manager API currently sets the filter type for the date and user fields as follows. See the following descriptions:

  • Date field - You can now set the FilterType for this field to DatePicker through the API. However, the field type displays a TextBox filter when you access it.
  • User field - You can now set the FilterType for this field to MultiList through the API. However, the field type displays a List filter when you access it.

Source property

Only use the Source property for mapping processing fields on the Document object.

Formatting fields

Set the Formatting property to one of the following values. For more information, see the Formatting enumeration in the Relativity.ObjectModel.{versionNumber}.Field.Models namespace.

  • None - used for all field types except currency or date.
  • Formatted - used for decimal and whole number field types.
  • Date - used for the date field type.
  • DateTime - used for the date field type.
  • Currency - used for the currency field type.

Depending on the field type, a request used for creating or updating a field may contain a combination of the following fields:

  • AllowGroupBy - a Boolean value indicating whether the field is available for grouping in Pivot.
  • AllowHtml - a Boolean value indicating whether HTML formatted text can be displayed in the field.
  • AllowPivot - a Boolean value indicating whether a pivot can be performed on this field.
  • AllowSortTally - a Boolean value indicating whether the document list is sorted on the field.
  • AssociateObjectType - the object type associated with the field. A single object field defines a one-to-many relationship between the object type that the field is added to, and the object type specified here. A multiple object field defines many-to-many relationship between the object types. The AssociateObjectType field contains the following information:
    • Name - the user-friendly name of the object type.
    • ArtifactTypeID - the integer value for the Artifact Type ID of an ObjectType. For example, the Artifact Type ID for a Document object is 10. See the ArtifactType enumeration in the Services API.

    Note: The requests for multiple and single choice fields have an AutoAddChoices property. If you change this property from No to Yes on a specific field, and applications in your workspace use this field, you must re-add the field to each application to include the choices. The RelativityApplications property on these requests lists the applications containing the field. See RelativityApplications in this list.

  • DisplayValueFalse - the text displayed for the false value of a Yes/No field.
  • DisplayValueTrue - the text displayed for the true value of a Yes/No field.

      Note: On the response object, the PropagateTo field contains the HasSecuredItems and ViewableItems fields. The ViewableItems field contains identifiers for a list of fields, which only includes unsecured items. On the request object, the PropagateTo field populates with an array of fields that the user can access. After making an update request, this array is merged with the list of fields that are secured. The secured fields aren't accessible to the user.

  • RelationalView - indicates the view used in the Related Items pane. It contains the following field:
    • Value - contains the Artifact ID and GUIDs used to identify the view. These values can be null.

    • ViewableItems - an array of identifier objects for items that are accessible to the current user. For example, an object in this array would contain the name, Artifact IDs, and GUIDs for an application.

      Note: On the response object, the RelativityApplications field contains the HasSecuredItems and ViewableItems fields. The ViewableItems field contains identifiers for a list of applications, which only includes unsecured items. On the request object, the PropagateTo field populates with an array of applications that the user can access. After making an update request, this array is merged with the list of applications that are secured. The secured applications aren't accessible to the user.

ClosedView the JSON request for creating a date field

To create a date field, send a POST request to a URL with the following format:

<host>/relativity.rest/api/Relativity-Object-Model/{versionNumber}/workspaces/{{workspaceID}}/fields/date

The following JSON sample illustrates how to create a date field, and set values for Source and Formatting fields.

{
    "fieldRequest":{
        "Name": "My Custom Date Field",
        "ObjectType": {
                "ArtifactID": 1042378,
                "ArtifactTypeID": 1000048,
                "Name": "Custom Object Type"
        },
        "Source": "Source Name",
        "IsRequired": false,
        "Formatting": "Date",
        "OpenToAssociations": false,
        "PropagateTo": [],
        "IsLinked": false,
        "FilterType": "None",
        "AllowSortTally": false,
        "Width": null,
        "AllowGroupBy": false,
        "AllowPivot": false,
        "Wrapping": false,
        "Shortcut": {
           "ModifierKeys": [],
           "MainKey": ""
        },
        "RelativityApplications": [],
        "Keywords": "",
        "Notes": ""
    }
}

When a request is successful, the response contains the Artifact ID of the new field. It also returns the status code of 200.

Read a field

You can retrieve basic or extended metadata for a field. The extended metadata also includes operations that user has permissions to perform on the field.

  • Retrieve basic metadata for a field - send a GET request to a URL with the following general format:
    <host>/relativity.rest/api/Relativity-Object-Model/{versionNumber}/workspaces/{{workspaceID}}/fields/{{fieldArtifactID}}
  • Retrieve extended metadata for a field - send a GET request to a URL with the following general format:
    <host>/relativity.rest/api/Relativity-Object-Model/{versionNumber}/workspaces/{{workspaceID}}/fields/{{fieldArtifactID}}/true/true

For both requests, set the {{WorkspaceID}} variable to the Artifact ID of a workspace or use -1 to indicate the admin-level context. Set the {{fieldArtifactID}} variable to the Artifact ID of the field that you want to read, and leave the body of the request empty.

ClosedView field descriptions for a response

Depending on the field type, a read operation returns a combination of the fields listed in Create a field. A read operation also returns the following fields:

  • Actions - an array of Action objects indicating operations that you have permissions to perform on this field. For example, you may not have permissions to modify a field that is part of a locked application. Each Action object contains the following fields that are available as extended metadata:
    • Name - name of an operation available through REST for the object type, such as delete, update, and so on.
    • Href - the URL used to make an HTTP request for the operation.
    • Verb - the name of the HTTP method for the operation.
    • IsAvailable - a Boolean value indicating whether you have permissions to perform the operation on this object type.
    • Reason - provides an explanation for the unavailability of an action.
  • ArtifactID - the Artifact ID for the field.
  • CreatedBy - contains the Artifact ID and name of the user who created the field. It also contains an array of GUIDs used to identify the user.
  • CreatedOn - the date and time when the field was added to Relativity.
  • Guids - an array of GUIDs used to identify the field.
  • LastModifiedOn - the date and time when the field was most recently modified.
  • LastModifiedBy - contains the Artifact ID and name of the user who recently updated the field. It also contains an array of GUIDs used to identify the user.
  • Meta - provides additional information available as extended metadata. It includes the following fields:
    • Unsupported - an array of properties that indicate functionality not available on the current instance of this field. For example, if the field isn't displayed in the field tree, then the AvailableInFieldTree would be listed here.
    • ReadOnly - an array of field properties that can't be modified, such its object or field type.
  • Name - the user-friendly name of the field.
  • Source - indicates the processing field that is mapped to the current field.
    • SourceName - the name identifying the source field.
    • FriendlyName - the user-friendly name of the source field.

Update a field

You can update a field by sending a PUT request to the appropriate URL for the field type. For general information about fields, see Fields on the RelativityOne Documentation site.

Click the following drop-down links to view URLs and sample requests for fixed-length text, multiple choice, single object, and date fields. You can find the URLs and JSON request formats for other field types in the Postman file provided for this service. For more information, see Postman sample file.

To view a list of field descriptions, see Create a field.

Note: When you want to ensure you only update a field if it hasn't been modified since you read it, provide the LastModifiedOn field. The update will fail if the field has been changed in the meantime and return a 409 error. You can get the value of this property from an FieldResponse object, which is returned by the ReadAsync() method.

Retrieve valid keys

When creating or updating a field on a Document object, you can assign a keyboard shortcut to it. The shortcut key is a combination of a CTRL, ALT, or SHIFT key, and an alphanumeric or other key. For more information, see Fields on the RelativityOne Documentation site.

You can use the following endpoint to retrieve all keys available for use when creating a keyboard shortcut. Send a GET request to a URL with the following format:

<host>/Relativity.REST/api/Relativity-Object-Model/{versionNumber}/workspaces/{{workspaceID}}/fields/valid-keys

Set the {{WorkspaceID}} variable to the Artifact ID of a workspace.

The body of the request is empty.

Retrieve the order of relational field icons

You can retrieve the current order for relational field icons displayed in the Related Items pane of the core reviewer interface. The order assigned to a relational field icon determines its position relative to other icons in the Related Items pane. A relational field icon with a lower order number is displayed on the left, while those with the same order number are sorted alphanumerically.

In the Relativity UI, you can add or edit fields in the Fields layout, which contains the View Order button for relational field properties. Click this button to display the current order for icons in the Related Items pane. For more information, see Fields on the RelativityOne Documentation site.

To retrieve the current display order for the icons of relational fields available in a specific workspace, send a GET request to a URL with the following format:

<host>/Relativity.REST/api/Relativity-Object-Model/{versionNumber}/workspaces/{{workspaceID}}/fields/available-relational-order

Set the {{WorkspaceID}} variable to the Artifact ID of a workspace.

The body of the request is empty.

The response contains the following fields:

  • Name - the user-friendly name of the relational field
  • Type - a string indicating the type of the field, such as GroupIdentifier, MD5Hash, or others.
  • Order - an integer representing the position of a relational field icon in the Related Items pane of the core reviewer interface.
