Request

Path Parameters
  • This is the hash key of the attributes which make up the composite key for the Questionnaires resource and used to uniquely identify an instance of Questionnaires. The client should not generate the hash key value. Instead, the client should query on the Questionnaires collection resource in order to navigate to a specific instance of Questionnaires to get the hash key.
Header Parameters
  • If the REST API supports runtime customizations, the shape of the service may change during runtime. The REST client may isolate itself from these changes or choose to interact with the latest version of the API by specifying this header. For example: Metadata-Context:sandbox="TrackEmployeeFeature".
  • The protocol version between a REST client and service. If the client does not specify this header in the request the server will pick a default version for the API.
  • Contains one of the following values: true or false. If true, the server performs an Upsert operation instead of a Create operation. During an Upsert operation, the server attempts to find an existing resource that matches the payload. If a match is found, the server updates the existing resource instead of creating a new one. If not found or false (default), the server performs a Create operation. Note that the Upsert operation isn't supported for date-effective REST resources.
