Changelog for August 5, 2024

by VTS Integrations

Overview

Our Tenant Linking is a robust solution that allows managers to recognize the brand names of their tenants instead of their legal or corporate names, making it easier to comprehend who the tenant actually is. The Global Tenant endpoint allows customers to access the end result of that linking and today we've made it easier to use based on the ever-changing nature of corporate branding and activities.

API Updates

Global Tenants

The scope for the Global Tenants endpoint is now expanded to all linked tenants on the platform. Previously, Global Tenant data was only exposed for customers with a direct relationship, such as a lease.

Today, the scope has been expanded to expose Global Tenant data for customers with a direct or indirect relationship (such as a lease through a subsidiary).

Upcoming

No new Next Gen API enhancements are scheduled as we continue to work on more robust data export capabilities. however we will continue to maintain and address bugs reported through support channels.

Overview

We've added new fields in the Tenant Contact endpoint to reflect additional fields that are available in the front-end application. Users can now retrieve specific metadata or context about the type of contact added.

API Updates

Tenant Contacts

The following fields have been added:

  • phone_type: This field specifies the type of phone number such as office, mobile, etc.
  • type: This field specifies the contact type such as the tenant or tenant rep
  • role: the role the contact fulfills with their organization
  • is_decision_maker: returns TRUE if the decision maker check box has been marked in the Contact details form
  • note: returns the free-form text that has been added for "Other" contact types.

API Fixes

Coordination Projects

  • The target_rent_commencement_date and current_rent_commencement_date may have returned NULL despite the respective dates appearing on the Tenant Coordination tab of a Deal.
    • We've addressed this bug to ensure that Tenant Coordination page and API responses return consistent values
  • Coordination projects with an undisclosed client will return across all the Tenant Coordination endpoints. Previously, undisclosed tenants were omitted from API responses.
