Description
| All API calls must contain a single credentials element to identify the user invoking the API. The API call is then performed as this user (any audit trail or history of actions in the system will show that this user performed the action), and therefore the user must have the required permissions to perform the action in order for the API call to succeed. | ||

dimensionValue Element
| |||
Tag Name
| dimensionValue | ||
Description
| Indicates that the exported data should contain only the mapping criterion entries which contain the matching specified dimensionValue. If more than one dimensionValue element is within the dimensionValues element, then the exported mapping criterion entries must contain all specified dimension/values. For example, if a request specifies dimension values of Region=East, and Product=Product_A, then mapping criterion must have Region contain East and Product contains Product_A in order to be exported.Also note that each dimensionValue within the dimensionValues element must belong to different dimension. For example, a request with dimension values of Region=East and Region=West won't be accepted. In the case when the input filtering dimensions do not belong to any of the requested dimensions, they will be ignored. | ||
