Programmatically uploading reference data to specific departments

Answered
Brian Garcia

We programmatically upload reference data to Canvas for many of our apps. To do this, we execute a HttpWebRequest against the url 
https://go.canvas.com/apiv2/reference_datas with user name/password and XML consisting of the reference data to upload.

We recently started looking at using departments and one question we have is how to direct that reference data upload to a specific department. Currently, everything goes to the default department and I've seen no setting to specify department.  How would we specify a department other than the default?

    Hi Brian,

    There is (per our API docs) a way to specify the Department in the XML that is getting posted:

    If you're doing that and it's still putting things into the default department, let me know and I can escalate this to the Support Team to investigate.

  • Great, thanks! I see where we can set that in our good so I will try that out.
