Re: api/organisationUnitLevels

 

If you’re getting the data in JSON format. And you’re using it to reconstruct something, how are you retrieving this data? Otherwise it would be trivial to sort it on your side?

I will try a different method of looking up OUlevels - that sequence issue would have made things really simple though.

Sounds like it would be rather trivial to generate this view from the _orgunitstructure table by joining with the organisationunit table. May not be feasible in this case, but might save a bit of trouble on the client side.

This ties in with my previous email about SHORTNAME outputting long NAME values for the ouNameHierarchy collection. I'm trying to split ouNameHierarchy into its different parent values for use in a custom report.
