Enhanced reporting

Alta Surveillance has introduced reporting endpoint APIs to improve reporting and analytics capabilities. Currently there are two types of reporting endpoint APIs.

Synchronous API: This API executes requests in a blocking manner, where each request is processed sequentially. Upon execution the request, the server waits to complete the first task before proceeding with another tasks. The client remains idle during this time.

Asynchronous API: This API executes a request and continue to perform other tasks without waiting for the immediate response from servers. The server processes the requests independently. Client receives a response from asynchronous API with details to track the request. When the data is ready, the client calls the API to retrieve data. Alta Surveillance reporting asynchronous API returns report status and report data location in response. The client uses this location URL to track the status of report generation and get the data when the report is ready.

Synchronous APIs do not possess suffix after the API name. However, asynchronous APIs are indicated with the "Async" as a suffix. For example, EvidenceOfReviewByDept is synchronous API name and EvidenceOfReviewByDeptAsync is the asynchronous API name.

Refer to the details below for the available synchronous and asynchronous APIs.

Departments API
- Synchronous method: Supported (https://<Reporting endpoint Base URL>/odata/departments)
- Asynchronous method: Not supported
Users API
- Synchronous method: Supported (https://<Reporting endpoint Base URL>/odata/users)
- Asynchronous method: Not supported
UserRoles API
- Synchronous method: Supported (https://<Reporting endpoint Base URL>/odata/userroles)
- Asynchronous method: Not supported
Roles API
- Synchronous method: Supported (https://<Reporting endpoint Base URL>/odata/roles)

ReviewerMapping API
- Synchronous method: Supported (https://<Reporting endpoint Base URL>/odata/reviewermapping)
- Asynchronous method: Not supported
MonitoredEmployees API
- Synchronous method: Supported (https://<Reporting endpoint Base URL>/odata/monitoredemployees)
- Asynchronous method: Not supported
EvidenceOfReviewByDept API
- Synchronous method: Supported (https://<Reporting endpoint Base URL>/odata/EvidenceOfReviewByDept)
- Asynchronous method: Supported (https://<Reporting endpoint Base URL>/odata/EvidenceOfReviewByDeptAsync)
ReviewStatus API
- Synchronous method: Supported (https://<Reporting endpoint Base URL>/odata/reviewstatus)
- Asynchronous method: Not supported

To utilize these reporting endpoints, the administrator must configure them in Alta Surveillance. Upon successful configuration, Alta Surveillance generates a base URL and API keys to ensure secure access to the reporting endpoints.

To securely access data, the primary or secondary API keys serve as passwords, unique to each reporting endpoint configuration. The specified IP addresses during the configuration of these enhanced reporting endpoints are authorized and permitted for API calls.
