GetPropertySetDefinitions1 API

Returns a filtered list of property set definitions. Supports filtering by library (domain) name and by which object types the property set applies to. Private property sets are excluded for anonymous callers.

This is an extended version of GetPropertySetDefinitions with filtering capabilities.

Endpoint

/srv.asmx/GetPropertySetDefinitions1

Methods

  • GET /srv.asmx/GetPropertySetDefinitions1?authenticationTicket=...&DomainNameFilter=...&AppliesToDocuments=...&AppliesToFolders=...&AppliesToUsers=...
  • POST /srv.asmx/GetPropertySetDefinitions1 (form data)
  • SOAP Action: http://tempuri.org/GetPropertySetDefinitions1

Parameters

Parameter Type Required Description
authenticationTicket string Yes Authentication ticket obtained from AuthenticateUser.
DomainNameFilter string No Library (domain) name to filter by. Only property sets assigned to this library (or global ones) are returned. Empty or null = no domain filter.
AppliesToDocuments boolean Yes When true, only property sets that apply to documents are returned. When false, this filter is inactive.
AppliesToFolders boolean Yes When true, only property sets that apply to folders are returned. When false, this filter is inactive.
AppliesToUsers boolean Yes When true, only property sets that apply to user accounts are returned. When false, this filter is inactive.

Filter Behavior

Parameter true false
AppliesToDocuments Only include psets that apply to documents No filter on this dimension
AppliesToFolders Only include psets that apply to folders No filter on this dimension
AppliesToUsers Only include psets that apply to users No filter on this dimension
DomainNameFilter Only include psets for this library or global psets No domain filter

Multiple filters are ANDed together. A property set must pass all active filters to be included.

Global property sets (available in all libraries) are always included when DomainNameFilter is specified.

Response

Success Response

<response success="true" error="">

        Caption="Project Metadata"
        AppliesToDocuments="TRUE"
        AppliesToFolders="TRUE"
        AppliesToUsers="FALSE"
        SystemUseOnly="FALSE"
        PrivatePropertySet="FALSE">
      <DomainRestrictions Global="FALSE">
        <Domain Name="Engineering" />
      </DomainRestrictions>

  </PropertySets>
</response>

Note: Field definitions are not included. Use GetPropertySetDefinition for full field details.

Error Response

<response success="false" error="[901]Session expired or Invalid ticket" />

Required Permissions

Any authenticated user may call this API.

Anonymous callers receive only non-private property sets (PrivatePropertySet = FALSE).

Example

GET Request -" retrieve all property sets that apply to documents in the "Engineering" library

GET /srv.asmx/GetPropertySetDefinitions1
    ?authenticationTicket=3f7a1b2c-4d5e-6f7a-8b9c-0d1e2f3a4b5c
    &DomainNameFilter=Engineering
    &AppliesToDocuments=true
    &AppliesToFolders=false
    &AppliesToUsers=false
HTTP/1.1
Host: yourserver

POST Request

POST /srv.asmx/GetPropertySetDefinitions1 HTTP/1.1
Host: yourserver
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

authenticationTicket=3f7a1b2c-4d5e-6f7a-8b9c-0d1e2f3a4b5c&DomainNameFilter=Engineering&AppliesToDocuments=true&AppliesToFolders=false&AppliesToUsers=false

Notes

  • DomainNameFilter is matched case-insensitively against library names.
  • Setting all three AppliesTo* flags to false returns all property sets with no object-type filter (equivalent to GetPropertySetDefinitions but still supports DomainNameFilter).
  • Field definitions are not included in the response.

Error Codes

Error Description
[900] Authentication failed -" invalid credentials.
[901] Session expired or invalid authentication ticket.
