1. as UUID. For example: 6t0ggef2c0deab00hb595101
2. in dot notation. E.g. ProviderName.CustomerName.LocationName

For a list of available UUIDs and their dot notations:
GET /api/v0/data/HierarchyNode/?format=json

[pkid] is the ID of the resource instance. Refer to the List reference below.
[filename] refers to a file

GET http://[host-proxy]/api/data/Patch/schema/?hierarchy=[hierarchy]&format=json&schema=1

Task	Call	URL	Parameters	Response
Get the GUI Add form.	GET	/api/data/Patch/add/	hierarchy=[hierarchy] format=json	The GUI Add form of data/Patch as JSON

The API call to the /add/ URL can only be made from a hierarchy that allows the model type to be added. The actions in the response shows the url for the POST API call to create an instance.

Task	Call	URL	Parameters	Payload
Create	POST	/api/data/Patch/	hierarchy=[hierarchy]	(For payload specification)

Response is a transaction pkid for the create action.

Use the GET call to

tool/Transaction/[trans pkid]

to inspect the created resource and its instance pkid.

Task	Call	URL	Parameters	Payload
Bulk delete [pkid1],[pkid2]...	DELETE	/api/data/Patch/	hierarchy=[hierarchy]	{"hrefs":["/api/data/Patch/[pkid1]", "/api/data/Patch/[pkid2]", ...]}

For the instance pkids [pkid1],[pkid2], ... that can be added to the DELETE call (the instance pkids to delete), refer to the List GET call for: data/Patch
```
GET http://[host-proxy]/api/data/Patch/?hierarchy=[hierarchy]&format=json
```

Task	Call	URL	Parameters	Payload
Get a selected [export_format] of the schema and instances [pkid1], [pkid2],... of data/Patch; optionally with tag_version at [version] and Configuration Template as [configtemplate].	POST	/api/data/Patch/export/	hierarchy=[hierarchy] version=[version] schema= schema_rules= template_name=[configtemplate] export_format=[raw_xlsx\|xlsx\|json]	{ "hrefs":["/api/data/Patch/[pkid1]", "/api/data/Patch/[pkid2]",...]}}

For export_format=json, the response is a time stamped zip file of data in JSON as in the system database. Item properties such as strings that are empty or Boolean values that are not set, are not included. The filename in the response is of the format as the example:

        Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=export_2013-05-17_14:20:19.186444.json.zip
        Content-Language:en
        Content-Type:application/x-zip

For export_format=raw_xlsx, the response is a MS Excel spreadsheet with columns corresponding to the JSON format export and a response filename format:

        Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=<resource_type>_<resource_name>_exportedsheet_CCYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.xlsx
        Content-Language:en
        Content-Type:application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet

For export_format=xlsx, the response is a MS Excel spreadsheet, arranged by any Field Display Policies that apply. The columns correspond with those of a Bulk Load Template export sheet. The response filename format is:

        Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=<resource_type>_<resource_name>_exportedsheet_formatted_CCYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.xlsx
        Content-Language:en
        Content-Type:application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet

The XLSX format can be used to bulk load instances of data/Patch and the JSON format can be used to import instances of data/Patch.

To get the list of all instance pkids [pkid1],[pkid2], ..., use the List GET call for data/Patch:

 GET http://[host-proxy]/api/data/Patch/?hierarchy=[hierarchy]

Task	Call	URL	Parameters	Response
Get a compressed format of the Bulk Load spreadsheet template for data/Patch	POST	/api/data/Patch/export_bulkload_template/	hierarchy=[hierarchy] modeltype=data/Patch	The response is an attachment of the format: filetype_bulkloadsheet.xlsx.gz

Task	Call	URL	Parameters	Response
List	GET	/api/data/Patch/	hierarchy=[hierarchy] format=json schema=true	The data/Patch schema and all instances as JSON.

(The list will return 0 to 3 data/Patch instances)
