Can we add New Custom Fields dynamically via API Calls in World Check One API?

ANKUR SARASWAT

Hi Team, can we add New Custom Fields dynamically via API Calls in World Check One API for our Account? Like "CF_1_Today's_Date".. and then tomorrow "CF_2_Tomorrow's_Date".. and so on ..

And then use those new Custom Fields to tag Cases against them?

Hello @ANKUR SARASWAT - thanks for reaching out to us!

The only way that you can create custom fields is through the WebUI:

1. Click on the ADMIN tab
2. On the right-most panel under PRODUCT SETTINGS, click on edit next to "Screening Custom Fields"
3. Create the field by adding the name and checking the "Show" box (if you want to make the field mandatory, check the box as well)
4. Click on Save
5. Click on the Groups tab in the left-most panel
6. Click on the Group name you would like to show the custom field
7. Click on Group details (next to Group Administrators | Group Members | Features)
8. Under "World-Check Screening", click on Edit next to "Screening Custom Fields"
9. Check the Show box next to the fields you would like to include within that group. You will also see the following message:
   Select the custom fields that you want to display in the case screening form for this group. To add or edit custom field labels, go to the Account Summary tab and select edit Screening Custom fields. Custom fields are created at the account level and can be made visible to parent/child groups.

It is important to keep in mind that every time you would like to add a custom field, you would have to go through the process listed above. We currently do not offer a way to create a custom field through the API. I hope this makes sense. If you need further clarification or if I misunderstood your question, kindly let me know.

Blessings,

Judith
