​ API authorization(s)

Here you can add an API that facilitates communication between BC Time and devices. This function will always be managed by a BC Time consultant and never by the client themselves.

Manage

Step 1:  Click on Manage

Here, you will see the following filters, which you can apply to existing API authorizations:

• All types - you select the type of configured API's that you want to see.  Either the device communication ones or the 3rd party ones
• Search API Authorizations - when you have multiple API's and want to review only one, you can search for it specifically
• CSV / PDF - you can export your list of API's in either csv or PDF format

Step 2:  Click on the ellipses button (dots) and select New

• These are the roles the API will be managing.  Clients will never have to tick these options, the API assigns these roles.

Sensitive data

• Refers to the unique detail in the end-to-end encryption for secure data communication

Comm Details:  

• Local Comm. app version:  shows you the version of Time_Comm you are on
• Branch(es):  shows you the branch that your API is authenticated to
• Last comm.:  shows you the last time the API communicated.  This should always be on the latest time to show there is communication and the Time Comm service is running

• Transfer to Comm app:  This is the security detail mentioned above on the sensitive data which is transferred to the Time Comm service for authentication
• Transfer to enrollment app:  This is the security detail mentioned above on the sensitive data which is transferred to the Enrollment application for authentication
• Regenerate sensitive data:  This is for regenerating Sensitive data used in the end-to-end encryption for secure data communication
• Update Public Key:  You update with a public key that you get from Time Comm service
• Delete:  is for deleting the API
• Back:  This is used to go back to the list of created API's

Comm Commands

Here you can run commands to make certain updates/changes on the database and devices

Step 1:  Click on Com Commands

Step 2:  Click on ellipses button (dots) and select new to run a new command

Step 3:  Select the type of command you want to run based on the required changes/updates. It's important to note that specific commands will display different options based on the command type selected as in the example screenshot below. Refer to our knowledge-based article on Understanding comm commands.

Step 4:  Once you are done selecting your Command and you have saved your progress, you will be taken back to the list of all commands.

• You can select the date range for which you want to view the commands
• All command types give you the option to view a specific command only, based on your selection.  
  
• All status(es) give you the option to select the command status you would like to view.

• After selecting a filter, either based on command types or all status(es), you will have to select the (now orange) refresh option next to the "all status(es) bar"
• You can export your list of commands in either PDF or CSV format by clicking on either of the two options.
