New Integration Questions SASS



• I am assuming just like in the current integration we will have the option to store and associate different locations (ie cust-numbers) and package numbers from our side to the rec? These will be associated to the rec and included with the data set for the candidate background request. This information is necessary to tell us what to order and where to put it.
• In the workflow tasks once a patch state of “complete” is submitted is there options to provide updates? If we send additional patches how does the system react? Will it store the data, push it back a step, just throw it away?
• Similar to the question above if on one of the patches we also include a url and in the next request we change that url data. Will the system overwrite the data? What is displayed to the client is it a running list of events or one “box” with just updated data?
• Is there a section in the dev site where we can look at what the global offering is?
• We have a field called MPA(My Policy Assistance) this is a product offering we can give to clients for adjudication. In the patching I did not see where this data would be returned?
• In the data collection process what information is specifically collected for ICIMS processes vs specifically for background check. IE if we wanted to simplify the collection process for candidates in ICIMS and collect more data for the background check what data would we have to keep for ICIMS processes?

Hello Tom
• I am assuming just like in the current integration we will have the option to store and associate different locations (ie cust-numbers) and package numbers from our side to the rec? These will be associated to the rec and included with the data set for the candidate background request. This information is necessary to tell us what to order and where to put it.
- The Packages are stored on the job in the bgcpackagetype field. There are fields that are standard on the job profile and listed here https://developer.icims.com/Data-Models/Job-Profile/Standard-Fields . Every client may not use the Cost Center field. However, the package field is identified as part of the standard background-drug screening integration.

• In the workflow tasks once a patch state of “complete” is submitted is there options to provide updates? If we send additional patches how does the system react? Will it store the data, push it back a step, just throw it away?
- When you send the initial results POST, you will receive a response from iCIMS that contains a link with the Entry ID. Every subsequent update should be made as a PATCH call to that returned link. It updates/replaces the status and any additional information returned.

• Similar to the question above if on one of the patches we also include a url and in the next request we change that url data. Will the system overwrite the data? What is displayed to the client is it a running list of events or one “box” with just updated data?
- Answered Above

• Is there a section in the dev site where we can look at what the global offering is?
- I am not sure of what you mean by global offering, however in your Sandbox email, there should have been several links that pertain to the integration development, as well as an attached document.

• We have a field called MPA(My Policy Assistance) this is a product offering we can give to clients for adjudication. In the patching I did not see where this data would be returned?
- There are a few text fields available for results and are included on the Developer Site under Person Profile as well as in the document sent with your sandbox credentials

• In the data collection process what information is specifically collected for ICIMS processes vs specifically for background check. IE if we wanted to simplify the collection process for candidates in ICIMS and collect more data for the background check what data would we have to keep for ICIMS processes?
- The fields for background screening are outlined in the document. If it was not sent, please let us know so we can send it to your email.

Thank you!
