How to add custom data to the Learner List via API

We would like to announce that it is now possible to create user profile fields as well as edit existing ones with your own data source, using the LMS365 API. e.g. using Swagger or Postman. Please be advised when the Custom Synchronization is enabled, LMS365 will no longer synchronize the data field from Microsoft Azure AD but you can populate the data from your data source via API.

These endpoints have been implemented for you to:

• •create new custom fields;

• •use existing user profile fields with your own Data.

To create the new custom field:

1. 1) Use the endpoint /odata/v2/UserFields

2. 2) Specify the required parameters, e.g:

{"Description":"new custom field",

"IsVisible":true,

"IsSynced":true,

"Type":"String",

"Title":"new field"}

To update the values for the custom field:

1. 1) Use the endpoint /odata/v2/Users('{LoginName}')/ UpdateUserFieldValues.

2. 2) Enter the full login name with all the prefixes of the User for whom you want to specify the value and all the needed parameters, e.g:

{

"UserFieldValues": [

{

"FieldId": "enter the custom field ID",

"Value": "2019-04-01T14:48:16.877Z"

},

{

"FieldId": " enter the custom field ID ",

"Value": 53789

}

]

}

To update the LMS365 System field:

1. 1) Navigate to the endpoint PUT odata/v2/Users(‘{LoginName}’).

2. 2) Enter the full login name with all the prefixes of the User for whom you want to specify the value and all the parameters, e.g:

{

"Department": "Department 1",

"Office": "Office, 1",

"JobTitle": "Developer",

"City": "Amsterdam",

"Company": "BIG Company"

}
