The following is a reference guide to the attributes and values that are a part of the certification process for each standard. Each field name has an API key that must be specified, followed by the value, or answer, for that field. This may take the form of a single selection from a list, a free form writing field, multiple selection of set values, number, etc. This document will be updated with additional standards as they become available in Validation Services.
Example API Body
The following is an example of a call that could be used to set the attributes for an audit. This is to give you a reference point of how the attributes and values would be entered. In this example, the user has already created an audit, and is only updating the audit to include the information shown.
