Conditions and requirements

General

IMPORTANT  The API respects Protected Data Permissions (PDP's) for InstalledProduct user-defined fields. See details below.

  • When associating the entity with a ContractService that contains no reference to ContractID, you can either supply info for the service (ServiceID or ContractServiceID) or the bundle (ServiceBundleID or ContractServiceBundleID) but not both.

  • The InstalledProduct's category will inherit the system's default Asset Category if the API does not receive a value for InstalledProductCategoryID during create.
  • If the user has no Protected Data Permissions, then no UDFs will be displayed. Otherwise all UDFs are displayed, but their values are masked based on the user's PDPs.

User sees a "*****" mask when the user does not have the PDPs to see the actual UDF value, whether the UDF has a value or not.

An error is thrown if user attempts to update a UDF outside their permissions.

NOTE  Administrators assign Protected Data Permissions from > Admin > Features & Settings > Resources/Users (HR) > Security > Protected Data Permission.

  • The InstalledProduct entity can have no more than 500 UDFs. Refer to UserDefinedFieldDefinition.
  • All fields that begin with RMM track data collected by the Datto RMM integration. All RMM fields are read only.

IMPORTANT  When the API receives a request to update a field that contains Rich Text, the API will update the text-only version of the field and overwrite the data in the Rich Text field with plain text. All text formatting and images will be lost. Refer to The Rich Text editor to learn more.

Special field attributes

Field Conditions and Requirements
AccountID InstalledProduct.AccountID cannot be updated. Any AccountID value provided on update is ignored.

AccountPhysicalLocationID

This field represents the Location field in the Autotask user interface.
ContactID

ContactID must reference an Active Autotask Contact that is associated with the Account referenced by the AccountID field or from the ParentAccount of the Account referenced by AccountID.

On create, InstalledProduct.ContactID, if provided, must be associated with an Active contact.

On update, you cannot change InstalledProduct.ContactID to an inactive contact.

Update does not throw an error when InstalledProduct.ContactID is associated with an inactive contact if no change is made to InstalledProduct.ContactID.
ContractID

If a Contract is associated with an InstalledProduct via the API (InstalledProduct.ContractID), and that Contract is associated with a Service Level Agreement (Contract.ServiceLevelAgreementID), the Contract Service Level Agreement will not automatically be associated with the InstalledProduct (InstalledProduct.ServiceLevelAgreementID), even if InstalledProduct does not have an associated Service Level Agreement.

The associated contract can be inactive.
InstalledProductCategoryID
  • If no asset category is specified, the system default asset category will be used.
  • The default values for all fields stored on the utilized asset category will be applied.
  • If the user specifies a value for a field that is also defaulted by the asset category, the user's specified value will be used.
  • All fields will be available on the InstalledProduct entity regardless of their visibility settings on the asset's asset category.
  • The "required" status and available list value settings for fields stored on the asset's asset category will NOT be respected when creating or editing assets in the API.

Location

This field represents the Area field in the Autotask user interface.

Notes

This field represents the Description field in the Autotask user interface.

ProductID

This field is not required if a DefaultInstalledProductCategoryID configuration is present for the Product entity.
SourceCostID The ID of the associated Cost item (TicketCost, ProjectCost, ContractCost, QuoteItem). This field is empty for assets that were not created from a charge or quote item.
SourceCostType The possible options are: Ticket Cost, Project Cost, Contract Cost, and Quote Item. This field is empty for assets that were not created from a charge or quote item.
