Save Arguments

API Function

In some cases, you must also add a header to trigger the app server to perform a function as part of an API call. For example, when creating a Work Order, to load a Work Order Template you must provide the SaveArgument header parameter as well as including the wo_template_no value in the payload.

Below is a list of Save Arguments

Load a Template to an order

Applicable endpoints: JmWorkOrder, MoMediaOrder, XmTransmissionOrder

Loads Work Order Template to an order.

This replaces LoadTemplate as an improved method that includes the option to append or replace existing transactions. (Available from release 26.1)

saveArgument : {"LoadTemplateOption":1}

//option to load child templates
saveArgument : {"LoadTemplateOption":1,"LoadChildTemplates":"Y"}

Options:

• 1 = append template transactions to existing order transactions

• 0 = replace any existing order transactions with the template transactions

Applies to POST, PATCH and PUT methods. Requires the wo_template_no to exist in the payload.

Example:

POST - create Work Order and load template

curl --location --globoff '{APIBaseURL}/JmWorkOrder' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'saveArgument: {"LoadTemplateOption":1,"LoadChildTemplates":"Y"}' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic ********' \
--data '{
    "jm_work_order": [
        {
            "wo_no_seq": {
                "wo_no_seq": "+1"
            },
            "wo_desc": "Match2006",
            "wo_begin_dt": "2026-08-22T10:00:00.000Z",
            "wo_end_dt": "2026-08-22T16:00:00.000Z",
            "wo_template_no": {
                "wo_template_no": 1050
            },
            "wo_type_no": {
                "wo_type_no": 3275
            },
            "phase_code": {
                "phase_code": "Hold"
            },
            "rate_card_no": {
                "rate_card_no": 1
            },
            "cust_id": {
                "cust_id": "1157"
            }
        }
    ]
}'

Load Template - prior method still supported.

SaveArgument : {"LoadTemplate":"2"}

Where the number represents the number of the template to load.

To load child templates (available from release 11.3), add an additional parameter called 'LoadChildTemplates'

SaveArgument: {"LoadTemplate":"1012","LoadChildTemplates":"Y"}

Example when creating an order using a POST call. The template number must be provided in both the header and the payload.

curl --location 'http://{APIbaseURL}/JmWorkOrder' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'SaveArgument: {"LoadTemplate":"15"}' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic ••••••' \
--data '{
    "jm_work_order": [
        {
            "wo_desc": "100m Finals",
            "wo_begin_dt": "2024-08-22T10:00:00.000Z",
            "wo_end_dt": "2024-08-22T16:00:00.000Z",
            "wo_type_no": 17,
            "phase_code": "RQST",
            "rate_card_no": 1,
            "cust_id": 27,
            "wo_template_no": 15
        }
    ]
}'

Load a Service Template

For transmission orders, you can load a Service Template

SaveArgument : {"LoadServiceTemplate":"10"}

And populate the XmTransmissionOrder payload with service_template_no value

"service_template_no":10

Multiple Service Templates can be loaded by including comma separated values:

SaveArgument : {"LoadServiceTemplate":"10","11"}

In this scenario you can leave the "service_template_no" in the body as null.

curl --location --request PATCH 'http://{APIbaseURL}/JmWorkOrder/wo_no_seq=2626-1' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
