  • 1.  TMF646 Appointment contactMedium and relatedParty

    Posted Apr 27, 2021 05:20
    Hi,

    in the Appointment it states:

    contactMedium
    A list of contact mediums (ContactMedium [*]). Indicates the contact medium that could be used to contact the party.

    relatedParty
    A list of related parties (RelatedParty [*]). Related Entity reference. A related party defines party or party role linked to a specific entity.

    How do I know whicht contactMedium belongs to which party? Why is contactMedium a seperate field at all?

    Hi Markus
    ContactMedium is a ubiquitous sub-entity, which API designers have seen fit to attach to various entities in the Open API model.
    It's up to you, as implementer of an API, to decide how to use the capabilities. So each party (or party role) has its own contact medium, but it might be useful to have contact information at the level of the appointment itself.
    Hope it helps
