Coming soon to the IRIS HR API

User Defined Fields

User Defined Fields will soon be available in the IRIS HR API.

The initial release will include GET methods only. Functionality to update User Defined Fields is planned for a future release.

As well as obtaining data from basic user defined fields, you will be able to:

• Query a schema endpoint that provides the details of a user-defined field such as Data type, Length etc.

• Query user-defined fields on built-in screens as well as user-defined screens.

  Linked fields (fields obtaining data from another screen) and calculated fields will not be populated with values in the initial release.

Deployment plan

We are planning to dark-launch the user-defined fields endpoint initially for UAT. Once fully tested, we will open it up to our early adopters and eventually roll out the service to all users, with access controlled via a feature flag.

We will update this topic when we have released User Defined Fields.

Find out how to become an early adopter of this feature.
