Connector Specifics
Object Peculiarities
Tasks
You must map either the PeopleId or PeopleIds field in addition to the required fields to import data to the Tasks object successfully.
PeopleReports and ProjectReports
To get records from the PeopleReports and ProjectReports objects, you need to filter data by StartDate and EndDate fields. The received data will correspond to the period between the specified dates.
PublicHolidays
This object displays records for the current year by default when querying. To get data for another period, use filters by Region, Year, StartDate, and EndDate with = operator.
The fields Year, StartDate, and EndDate return null results when querying. These fields are designed for filtering only and don’t store any data.
Filtering Specifics
Float API supports the following native filters:
| Object | Operator | Field |
|---|---|---|
| PublicHolidays | = |
Region, Year, StartDate, EndDate |
| ProjectReports | = |
ProjectId, StartDate, EndDate |
| PeopleReports | = |
PeopleId, StartDate, EndDate |
| LoggedTime | = |
PeopleId, ProjectId, StartDate, EndDate |
| TimeOffs | = |
Status, FullDay |
Use these filters to improve performance and save API calls. You can use filters with other fields or operators, but it may increase API call usage.
