Coming soon to the IRIS HR API
Emergency Contacts
We are planning to introduce the Emergency Contacts endpoint, also known in IRIS Cascade as Next of Kin.
The initial release will support GET methods only, with update functionality for Emergency Contacts planned for a later release.
This endpoint will provide all the default fields from the Next of Kin screen in IRIS Cascade.
If you have any User Defined Fields on this screen, you will need to get these from the User Defined Fields endpoint, which we plan to release soon.
We aim to launch Emergency Contacts in version 2.7, scheduled for the January 2025 release. Once the date is confirmed, we will share this.

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.
