API enhancements

You can use Genetec Mission Control™ Web API 2.3 for the following:
Add a comment when triggering an incident
You have the option of adding a comment when using the TriggerIncident command with the POST /v2/Incidents endpoint to trigger an incident in Security Desk.
Get information on incident state transitions
You can get a list of possible state transitions for an incident through the following endpoints:
GET /Incidents/{id}/PossibleStateTransitions
Retrieve the possible state transitions for the specified incident.
GET /Incidents/{id}
Access the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for the state transitions in the links section of the endpoint.
NOTE: If the incident automation workflow disables a state, the endpoint returns the state as disabled.
Incident type description field length increased

You can use up to 1024 characters in the Incident type description.

Sort the retrieved list of incidents
You can use the sortBy command with the GET /v2/Incidents endpoint to sort the retrived list of incidents based on specified incident properties.
You can sort the incidents by any of the following:
  • Incident name
  • Incident description
  • Display ID
  • Incident state
  • Trigger time
  • Trigger location
  • Incident priority

You can also specify if the listing should be in ascending or descending order.

The default is displayId.desc, where the retrieved list of incidents are sorted based on Display ID and listed in descending order.
