Create Job Items

Summary

Job items can be created for any workflow type however for the data to be displayed on the device the correct screen needs to be enabled.

A job item can be created via two different methods - either as multi-part form data with a JSON file attached and the API key as a parameter, or as JSON content on it's own, with the API key supplied within the JSON.

A job item may be created either by supplying freeform text for the 'name' field, or by supplying the name or external id of an existing part, which will then be linked from the items catalog to the new item.

This method is transactional. If one item fails validation, then no items will be created.

Returns a list of valid job items and a list of failed job items. Even if items are valid, they will not be created unless there are no failed items.
