/api/asset/show

This is an old revision of the document!

This function is used to search for an asset based on a query string and display a page in the users browser.

This search is limited to the specific property IDs or names you'd like to limit it to.

Parameter	Notes	Meaning
search	String [Required]	The text to search for
property	String [Optional]	The id of the property to be searched
proptype	String [Optional]	The type of property to be searched
view	String [Optional]	The page to open. Defaults to 'dash'
format	String (xml)	'' (empty), 'xml' or 'json'

Calling this function without a value for property or propertytype searches all properties.

Calling this function with a property type in all-caps (ie. 'MEASUREMENT') searches all properties of that type.

You can use either the name or the ID of a property in the 'property' parameter.

If called without a 'format' parameter, the user is redirected to the URL.

Values for 'view' include…
