Provide order data

When you’re creating a case using the customer-provided PII flow, or adding to an existing order, you’ll need to provide the necessary candidate data. This data is sent in an orderData array of objects with the following properties:

Property	Type	Required	Description
`caseOrderDataTypeId`	`string`	`Required`	The type of candidate data to include in the order. See the Case order data types table for the possible types.
`serviceId`	`string`	—	The service for which the data is being provided. Required for certain case order data types.
`metadata`	`object`	`Required`	The candidate data. The exact properties are specific to each case order data type.

The types of order data to include depend on the services that are being ordered. At a minimum, the candidate’s government ID, date of birth, and current address need to be included as order data for a case:

{
  "orderData": [
    {
      "caseOrderDataTypeId": "codt-govt-id",
      "metadata": {
        "govtId": "111-22-3333"
      }
    },
    {
      "caseOrderDataTypeId": "codt-dob",
      "metadata": {
        "dob": "1983-05-17"
      }
    },
    {
      "caseOrderDataTypeId": "codt-current-candidate-address",
      "metadata": {
        "address1": "100 Main St",
        "address2": "Unit 2",
        "city": "New York",

        "postalCode": "10016",
        "country": "US"
      }

Case order data structures

Below are details and examples of each type of order data.

      }

  ]
}

metadata properties: govtId (string) — The candidate’s Social Security number in the format xxx-xx-xxxx. For testing purposes, use 111-22-3333.

Date of birth

The candidate’s birthdate is always required in order data.

{
  "orderData": [
    {
      "caseOrderDataTypeId": "codt-dob",
      "metadata": {
        "dob": "1983-05-17"

Service category	ID
Occupational health screening	service-cat-ohs

All OHS and drug screening services share the same serviceCategoryId (service-cat-ohs). If you’re running logic to determine if you need to include the codt-ohs-scheduling-address order data, you should use the serviceCategoryId in your conditional logic.

{
  "orderData": [
    {
      "caseOrderDataTypeId": "codt-ohs-scheduling-address",
      "metadata": {
        "address1": "100 Main St",

        "lastNameIfDifferent": ""
      }
    }
  ]
}

Service	ID
FACIS	2c6bbd00-dce3-4ecd-ae91-b0f3dab268f7
Global Watchlist Search	c3080270-3e83-4eb2-a2a9-e5964645f8c5
National Criminal Search	d8e3dbdb-c2d7-4787-9736-86fffab74da4
Federal Criminal Search	ee774b82-a411-4e2b-a38f-c0641bd836e7
State Criminal Court Search	c407f6dd-523e-4627-a4d9-8f52d30ee744
State Criminal Database Search	d9381240-6230-40ec-9e11-35703e8041bc

When providing alias order data, you must do the following:

Include a master list of aliases for the candidate — one codt-alias item for each alias.
Include one codt-alias item for each service that you want verified using the alias. serviceId must be specified for these items.

{
  "orderData": [
    {
      "caseOrderDataTypeId": "codt-alias",
      "metadata": { "givenName": "Bill", "middleName": "", "familyName": "Moore" }
    },
    {
      "caseOrderDataTypeId": "codt-alias",
      "metadata": { "givenName": "Will", "middleName": "", "familyName": "Moore" }
    },
    {
      "caseOrderDataTypeId": "codt-alias",
      "serviceId": "fa226cb7-1214-4cdf-9296-6120a7376926",
      "metadata": { "givenName": "Bill", "middleName": "", "familyName": "Moore" }
    },
    {
      "caseOrderDataTypeId": "codt-alias",
      "serviceId": "fa226cb7-1214-4cdf-9296-6120a7376926",
      "metadata": { "givenName": "Will", "middleName": "", "familyName": "Moore" }
    }
  ]
}

Jurisdictions

Jurisdiction order data is never required. This data is optional if you’re ordering one of the jurisdiction-based services:

Service	ID
County Criminal Search	fa226cb7-1214-4cdf-9296-6120a7376926
Federal Criminal Search	ee774b82-a411-4e2b-a38f-c0641bd836e7
State Criminal Database Search	d9381240-6230-40ec-9e11-35703e8041bc
State Criminal Court Search	c407f6dd-523e-4627-a4d9-8f52d30ee744

The results of an SSN Trace will inform which jurisdictions to be searched. As a result, the final list of jurisdictions might be larger than the list that is provided as order data.

When providing jurisdiction order data, you must do the following:

Provide one or more addresses to derive the list of specific jurisdictions:

{
  "orderData": [
    {
      "caseOrderDataTypeId": "codt-address",
      "metadata": {
        "city": "Manchester",
        "state": "NH",
        "county": "Hillsborough",
        "autoProcessJurisdictions": false
      }
    }
  ]
}

If autoProcessJurisdictions is set to false (or omitted), specify the jurisdictions for each relevant search type:

County jurisdictions:

{
  "orderData": [
    {
      "caseOrderDataTypeId": "codt-jurisdiction-county",
      "serviceId": "fa226cb7-1214-4cdf-9296-6120a7376926",
      "metadata": { "state": "NH", "county": "HILLSBOROUGH" }
    }
  ]
}

Federal district jurisdictions:

{
  "orderData": [
    {
      "caseOrderDataTypeId": "codt-jurisdiction-fed-district",
      "serviceId": "ee774b82-a411-4e2b-a38f-c0641bd836e7",
      "metadata": { "district": "New Hampshire District Court" }
    }
  ]
}

State jurisdictions:

{
  "orderData": [
    {
      "caseOrderDataTypeId": "codt-jurisdiction-state",
      "serviceId": "c407f6dd-523e-4627-a4d9-8f52d30ee744",
      "metadata": { "state": "NH" }
    }
  ]
}

Use the POST /jurisdiction/find/all endpoint to help populate the specific jurisdiction order data. Setting autoProcessJurisdictions to true skips the need to specify individual jurisdiction items.

Professional license and certification

If a Professional License and Certification verification (CPLC) is being ordered, you must provide at least one CPLC order data item.

Service	ID
Professional License and Certification	service-cplc

To get the required fields for a specific license or certification:

Send a GET request to GET /service/cplc/list to retrieve all supported CPLCs and get the cplcId.
Send a GET request to GET /service/cplc/id/{cplcId} to retrieve the required fields for that cplcId.

{
  "orderData": [
    {
      "caseOrderDataTypeId": "codt-cplc",
      "serviceId": "service-cplc",
      "metadata": {
        "cplcId": "e9a5f173-a9cc-4dc7-91a0-25d5586b3d50",
        "fields": [
          { "fieldId": "licenseNumber", "value": "LN123456" },
          { "fieldId": "firstName", "value": "William" },
          { "fieldId": "lastName", "value": "Moore" },
          { "fieldId": "state", "value": "NH" }
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

Shipments

If a shipment service is being ordered, you must provide at least one shipment order data item regardless of PII flow. If you don’t include the order data when creating a case, the service will be excluded from the case order.

Service	ID
Mask Shipment	service-mask-shipment

To get the masks available for shipment:

Send a GET request to GET /shipment/mask/list to retrieve a list of masks.
In the returned list array, get the sku for a specific mask.

Only masks with inStock as true can be ordered. Attempting to order an out-of-stock mask results in a 422 response.

{
  "orderData": [
    {
      "caseOrderDataTypeId": "codt-shipment",
      "serviceId": "service-mask-shipment",
      "metadata": {
        "recipientName": "William Moore",
        "address1": "100 Main St",
        "address2": "Unit 2",
        "addressType": "home",
        "addressSource": "homeAddress",
        "city": "New York",
        "state": "NY",
        "postalCode": "10016",
        "shippingMethod": "2-3 Business Days",
        "maskType": "3M 8210"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Document Processing

If document processing is being ordered, you must provide one codt-idp order data item per document to be processed. If you don’t provide order data for a document, it will not be included in the processing order.

Service	ID
Document Processing	service-intelligent-document-process

metadata properties:

Property	Description
`documentTypeId`	Document type identifier. Always use `unclassified` for Document Processing.
`fileName`	The file name as provided when uploading the document.
`secureDocumentId`	The secure document ID returned after creating the secure document record.

{
  "orderData": [
    {
      "caseOrderDataTypeId": "codt-idp",
      "serviceId": "service-intelligent-document-process",
      "metadata": {
        "documentTypeId": "unclassified",
        "fileName": "testfile1.pdf",
        "secureDocumentId": "e9a5f173-a9cc-4dc7-91a0-25d5586b3d50"
      }
    }
  ]
}
