Not guaranteed to be unique because it does not include the names of its hierarchical parent objects like `fullName` does. For example, two classes could both have the `name` "Marketing", but they could have unique `fullName` values, such as "Department:Marketing" and "Internal:Marketing". Maximum length: 31 characters. example: Marketing isActive: type: boolean description: >- Indicates whether this class is active. Inactive objects are typically hidden from views and reports in QuickBooks. Defaults to `true`. example: true default: true parentId: type: string description: >- The parent class one level above this one in the hierarchy. For example, if this class has a `fullName` of "Department:Marketing", its parent has a `fullName` of "Department". If this class is at the top level, this field will be `null`. example: 80000001-1234567890 required: - name additionalProperties: false responses: '200': description: Returns the newly created class. headers: Conductor-Request-Id: schema: type: string description: The unique identifier for this API request. example: req_1234567abcdefg required: true content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/qbd_class' security: - BearerAuth: [] x-codeSamples: - lang: JavaScript source: |- import Conductor from 'conductor-node'; const conductor = new Conductor({ apiKey: process.env['CONDUCTOR_SECRET_KEY'], // This is the default and can be omitted }); const _class = await conductor.qbd.classes.create({ name: 'Marketing', conductorEndUserId: 'end_usr_1234567abcdefg', }); console.log(_class.id); - lang: Python source: |- import os from conductor import Conductor conductor = Conductor( api_key=os.environ.get("CONDUCTOR_SECRET_KEY"), # This is the default and can be omitted ) class_ = conductor.qbd.classes.create( name="Marketing", conductor_end_user_id="end_usr_1234567abcdefg", ) print(class_.id) components: schemas: qbd_class: type: object properties: id: type: string description: >- The unique identifier assigned by QuickBooks to this class.

When updating this object, you must provide the most recent `revisionNumber` to ensure you're working with the latest data; otherwise, the update will return an error. example: '1721172183' name: type: string description: >- The case-insensitive name of this class. Not guaranteed to be unique because it does not include the names of its hierarchical parent objects like `fullName` does. For example, two classes could both have the `name` "Marketing", but they could have unique `fullName` values, such as "Department:Marketing" and "Internal:Marketing". example: Marketing fullName: type: string description: >- The case-insensitive fully-qualified unique name of this class, formed by combining the names of its hierarchical parent objects with its own `name`, separated by colons. For example, if a class is under "Department" and has the `name` "Marketing", its `fullName` would be "Department:Marketing". **NOTE**: Unlike `name`, `fullName` is guaranteed to be unique across all class objects. However, `fullName` can still be arbitrarily changed by the QuickBooks user when they modify the underlying `name` field. example: Department:Marketing isActive: type: boolean description: >- Indicates whether this class is active. Inactive objects are typically hidden from views and reports in QuickBooks. Defaults to `true`. example: true parent: type: - object - 'null' properties: id: type: - string - 'null' description: >- The unique identifier assigned by QuickBooks to this object.

A top-level class has a `sublevel` of 0; each subsequent sublevel increases this number by 1.

For example, classes can be used to classify transactions by department, location, or type of work. securitySchemes: BearerAuth: type: http scheme: bearer description: >- Your Conductor secret key using Bearer auth (e.g., `"Authorization: Bearer {{YOUR_SECRET_KEY}}"`). ```` Built with [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com).
