Records Management - the api story
0 likes145 views
David Webster gives an introduction to Alfresco's Governance Services APIs. He discusses how Governance Services has expanded beyond just records management to apply to all content. The new GS v1 REST APIs, debuting in RM 2.6, provide a complete CRUD interface for file plans and allow filing records and declaring content as records. He demonstrates the API explorer and Postman collection for exploring the APIs.
