Initial Dataroom Loading

After authenticating at the Netfiles server using the Check Identity call you will receive a list of datarooms to which this user has access.

This list is composed of all datarooms he/she has access to regardless of whether the user has access on tablet or not.

In order to see whether he/she has access on the tablet, you will need to check the AccessAllowed attribute for each dataroom.

If this is set to true, successive Get Children calls will succeed. Otherwise they will fail and you will have wasted a call.

Identifying Dataroom Type

You can identify a dataroom’s type by analyzing the AccountType attribute. There are (for my knowledge) following types:

Type	Description
standard	A standard dataroom containing document and folders.
business	Dataroom of type “Business Plus”
dealroom	Dataroom of type “Dealroom” - meant to be used for M&A-Projects
dataroom	Standard dataroom
boardroom	Dataroom of type “boardroom”

Accessing Standard Objects

You can access the standard objects such as files & folders in a dataroom using the path <dataroompath>/projectfiles. This is the same as clicking on Documents (Dokumente) in the Web-UI.

After that you just have to follow the hierarchy to find you items. Please check out the documentation for futher information.

Accessing Board Room

In order to access the Boardroom-specific objects such as Meeting Collections, Meeting or Meeting Topic you have to use a different path syntax:

<dataroom>/meetings

If, e.g., you want to access the Q1/2021 meeting (=”q1_2021”) of the Executive Board (=”executive_board”) in Overall Board Meetings (=”overall_board_meetings”) in dataroom Imdat AG (=”imdatag”) you would make the following call (s. Prerequisites ) :

GET https://app.netfiles.de/imdatag/meetings/overall_board_meetings/executive_board/q1_2021;internal&action=json...

Accessing Meeting Minutes

The meeting minutes are stored under each meeting topic and can be reached using following call:

GET https://app.netfiles.de/imdatag/meetings/<meeting>/<meetingtopic>/minutes;internal&action=json&method=getObject...

The meeting minutes belong to each meeting topic and are HTML-formatted with limited HTML tags support.
