Explanation#

NFParticipant

Any data containing person information (host, participants, guests, etc.) consists of a json-structure per person of type described below. If it contains a Hyperwave ID (UObjname != ""), the user data is retrieved using Get Object call. Otherwise the UObjrealname is used as is.

NFParticipant := {
  UObjrealname: string,
  UObjname: string
}
host | owner

This is the owner of the meeting topic. If the entry is empty (== []), then the host of the meeting is also the host of this specific meeting topic. Though there is only one host/owner, the server returns an array with at most one entry - as specified.

Examples:

owner: [
    {
      UObjrealname: "Tom Krempl",
      UObjname: "ID-29855.6518164830361-1"
    }
]

host: [
    {
      UObjrealname: "Tom Krempl",
      UObjname: "ID-29855.6518164830361-1"
    }
]
guests

This is the list of guests for this meeting topic. They can be empty list or lists of persons. Default value is empty array (== [] )

Examples:

guests: [
  {
      UObjrealname: "Tom Krempl",
      UObjname: "ID-29855.6518164830361-1"
  },
  {
      UObjrealname: "Hans Meiser",
      UObjname: ""
  }
],
requiresVoting

This describes whether there is a voting required by participants of the meeting on this topic.

If a Meeting Topic requires voting, the voting result will be logged in the Meeting Topic Results.

status

is any of none, started, or ended. It represents the status of the Meeting Topic. Default (if the user hasn’t changed anything) is none.

voted

If a voting was required on this Meeting Topic, this indicates whether a voting did happen. Sometimes a topic might just have been postponed. In this case, you can still close the Meeting Topic (and lock the result) even if a voting did not happen.

If this is set to true, there must be the log of votes in NF_VotingDetails below.

This attribute is only used when status is ended or closed. When the status is something else, this attribute is ignored.

NF_VotingDetails

If voting was required for this Meeting Topic, this contains the result of the votes. It is a list of dictionaries. E.g.:

[
    {
        UObjrealname: "Tom Krempl",
        UObjname: "ID-29855.6518164830361-1",
        vote: "neutral"
    },
    {
        UObjrealname: "Imdat Solak",
        UObjname: "",
        vote: "positive"
    },
    {
        UObjrealname: "Hans Meiser",
        UObjname: "",
        vote: "negative"
    }
]

If no voting was required, this is an empty string.
