SetDocumentCompletionStatus API

Sets the completion status of the specified document using a PercentComplete value and an optional CompletionDate. A document with PercentComplete = 100 is considered fully completed and can no longer be checked out or modified. Document subscribers are notified on a successful change.

Endpoint

/srv.asmx/SetDocumentCompletionStatus

Methods

GET /srv.asmx/SetDocumentCompletionStatus?AuthenticationTicket=...&Path=...&PercentComplete=...
POST /srv.asmx/SetDocumentCompletionStatus (form data)
SOAP Action: http://tempuri.org/SetDocumentCompletionStatus

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`AuthenticationTicket`	string	Yes	Authentication ticket obtained from `AuthenticateUser`.
`Path`	string	Yes	Full infoRouter path to the document (e.g. `/Finance/Reports/Q1-Report.pdf`), or a short document ID path (`~D{id}` or `~D{id}.ext`).
`PercentComplete`	int	Yes	Completion percentage. Use `100` to mark the document as complete. Use any value less than `100` (typically `0`) to mark it as incomplete.
`CompletionDate`	DateTime	No	The date the document was completed. Only meaningful when `PercentComplete = 100`. Must not be a future date. If omitted or set to `1900-01-01` when completing, the server automatically sets it to today's date. Pass `1900-01-01` (or omit) when marking a document as incomplete.

PercentComplete / CompletionDate Interaction

`PercentComplete`	`CompletionDate`	Effective Result
`100`	omitted / `1900-01-01`	Completed; `CompletionDate` auto-set to today.
`100`	past or today	Completed with the supplied date.
`100`	future date	Error — completion date cannot be in the future.
`< 100`	omitted / `1900-01-01`	Incomplete; `CompletionDate` cleared.
`< 100`	any non-base date	`PercentComplete` is silently forced to 100 and the document is marked complete with the supplied date.

Response

Success Response

<response success="true" error="" />

Error Response

<response success="false" error="In order to complete a document, Please check-in the document first." />

Required Permissions

The calling user must have Document Completion permission on the document.

SOAP Request

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
               xmlns:tns="http://tempuri.org/">
  <soap:Body>
    <tns:SetDocumentCompletionStatus>
      <tns:AuthenticationTicket>3f2504e0-4f89-11d3-9a0c-0305e82c3301</tns:AuthenticationTicket>
      <tns:Path>/Finance/Reports/Q1-2024-Report.pdf</tns:Path>
      <tns:PercentComplete>100</tns:PercentComplete>
      <tns:CompletionDate>2024-03-31</tns:CompletionDate>
    </tns:SetDocumentCompletionStatus>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Notes

Shortcut documents (.LNK) cannot have their completion status changed. The call returns an error directing you to set the status on the original document instead.
Email documents (.EMAIL) cannot have their completion status changed.
A document that is currently checked out cannot be marked as complete (PercentComplete = 100). Check the document in first.
If PercentComplete < 100 but a non-base CompletionDate is supplied, the server silently upgrades PercentComplete to 100 and marks the document as complete.
CompletionDate accepts UTC values, which are automatically converted to server local time.
Document subscribers are notified of the completion status change on success.
Use GetDocument to check the current PercentComplete and CompletionDate attributes before calling this API.

GetDocument - Get document properties including the current PercentComplete and CompletionDate
Lock - Check out a document (a checked-out document cannot be marked complete)
