Data Validation

We are in the very early stages of looking into using API's as a way for users to update data within Archer.  One thing that looks like might be an issue is validation of the rules we have configured in an application . For example, we may require if Field A is answered "yes", then Field B requires a date to be entered.  Do any customers who use API's try to validate rules within their application when doing updates via an API?

Terri,

 

You'd have to maintain this manually in your API by first mimicking all of your DDE's in your API App code, and then anytime you modify a DDE in the App you'd have to remember to mimic those on the API App again.

 

I believe there is an idea out there on https://community.rsa.com/community/products/archer-grc/ideas?sr=search&searchId=75427857-21e5-4ebb-b76a-a64d0ff20911&searchIndex=0‌ to allow the API to enforce/ignore validation just like a data feed can that you can vote on. If not, this sounds like a wonderful enhancement to submit and gather feedback / votes on.
