The projection is the data type that you're attempting to load directories for. For example, if you were opening the story browser, you would send com.rossvideo.inception.model.Story, or com.rossvideo.inception.model.RunningOrder if you were opening the running order manager. With the projection, we can determine which directories the user should see, based on permissions. The easiest way to determine what should be sent would be to open Inception, open the developer console to the network tab, filter to fetch/xhr, and then open the view that contains the data you want to pull in your API application. From there, you can find the relevant request and double check the data type being submitted.

Hi,
I'm working with Inception API V17.3.0.
I have the documentation installer so i can use the documentation.
I have a question about Virtual Directory Endpoint : GET /common.rwp.vfs/VirtualDirectory/Object/List.js
It says that one should provide projection Parameter as string but i can't find what it is (description is 'The registered directory projection to use.')
Could you help me ?
Chris
