On October 18, two API v2 fields will be renamed within the Item object:

• features.field_coverage.
paystubs.document_id
  will be renamed to
  features.field_coverage.
paystubs.payroll_document
• features.field_coverage.
paystubs.gross_pay_list_totals.
{base/overtime/commission/bonus/other}.
rate_ytd_implied
  will be renamed to
  features.field_coverage.
paystubs.gross_pay_list_totals.
{base/overtime/commission/bonus/other}.
rate_implied_ytd

These renamed fields are currently returned when:

• Retrieving an individual Item by calling /v2/items/{id}
• Listing Item notifications by calling /v2/item-notifications
• Receiving an items.updated API v2 webhook

The features object, previously available when retrieving an Item's details, is now returned by the /v2/item-notifications API endpoint and in the payload of items.updated webhooks.

These additions make it easier to track changes to an Item's supported data fields and deposit switch capabilities.

Console's Connections page was redesigned from the ground up, giving you more information at a glance with advanced filters to find the information you need faster.

1. The previous three table views — Connected, Invited, and Attempted Connections — were combined into one view.

Other Console changes introduced this month:

• External ID's can be attached to individual users and used when searching the Connections page. Multiple users can have the same external ID.
• Shifts data and shifts webhooks are now available in Console.
• The content of Argyle PDF Reports can be viewed in JSON within Console.
