Projects

Manage my company projects (create, list, update, delete...)

Description

The main function/purpose of Projects is to link together multiple Project Lines.

Project in themselves are mostly used to describe the context of a Project Line, by setting things such as the incoterms, the supplier, the final customer, etc.

In most cases, a Project Line is completely specified by its Project name/reference, the Product it uses and its Delivery Date.

Usually, a Project in Winddle will represent an “Order” or a “Design/Conception project”. The appropriate project_type may be selected to differentiate them.

Params format (creation/update)

For this resource, all the params can be included in a key project.

For instance, creating a Project in XML (POST /api/v1/projects):

<project>
  <name>TestProject</name>
  <reference>TestProject-001</reference>
  <line-items>
    <line-item>
      <deliver-at>2015-01-01</deliver-at>
      <product>ExistingProduct</product>
    </line-item>
  </line-items>
</project>

Please note the extra line-item key in the line-items array.

In JSON, the root key is not necessary and the following body would be accepted:

{
  "name": "TestProject",
  "reference": "TestProject-001",
  "line_items": [{
      "deliver_at": "2015-01-01",
      "product": "ExistingProduct"
  }]
}

Project associated resources

Company

The field company_id will contain the id of the company owning this Project.

It is the same company as the Project’s project manager(s) company.

Supplier, Final Customer, Factory and Forwarder

Each of those fields are Contacts (of companies, not users). The contact must be visible to the project’s company.

Winddle offers an API shortcut to create a contact just from its name using the params supplier_name, forwarder_name, final_customer_name and factory_name. If a contact with the same name already exists, it will be used instead of creating a new one.

To clear the value in the field, send a true value in the name of the field with an added _clear (ex: forwarder_clear).

Project Manager(s)

There are two possible project managers for a Project:

  • The owner, who creates the Project
  • The buyer (shown as ‘Project Manager’ on Winddle), who is set to the same value as the owner field by default but can be changed at any time.

Both of those users have full control over the project and its project lines.

Project lines

A Project can have multiple project lines.

Please see the Project/LineItems service for more details on the project lines structure.

Custom values (LIST)

This array, sent in the key customs contains an entry for each Custom Fields created in the Project’s company that is attached to a Project.

For each of those custom fields, the following keys are provided:

  • id : id of the Custom Field
  • name: name of the Custom FIeld
  • value: value for this Project, if any
  • updated_at: Datetime of the update for the value, if any

POST /api/v1/projects

Create a new Project

The project company and owner (Project Manager) will be set to the current token’s owner / company.

It’s possible to create multiple project lines with this service.

See the Project/LineItems service for a description of the necessary fields necessary to create a Project Line.

Invitations

When creating a Project, it’s possible to automatically create a few invitations for external partners.

See the example below for the format to be used:

invites: {
  users: [
    {
      "id": "user1@winddle.com",
      "position": "PositionA"
    },
    {
      "id": "user2@winddle.com"
      "position": "PositionA"
    }
  ],
  "workgroups": ["WorkgroupA"]
}

This would invite 2 users (with PositionA) as well as all the users in the WorkgroupA (with the correct position).

It’s equivalent to inviting them on each project lines individually.
