TotalPageCountinteger

Number of pages for the whole result with your pageSize. Keep calling with page + 1 until you have read them all.

ReturnWorkUnitFlat[]

Response<WorkUnitFlat>: one page; IsReturnPaged = true, TotalPageCount = -1; 'Successfully called' message. ResponseState Success, empty Return, TotalPageCount -1.

Errors

All errors come back with HTTP 200: check ResponseState, ErrorCode and Messages. The errors every operation can return (expired or invalid token, API not enabled, HTTPS required, general errors) are listed once in Responses and errors.

Errors specific to this operation:

ResponseState	ErrorCode	Message	What it means	What to do
Error	40001	Error during call on TimeLog.API, Message 'The current user is not allowed to fetch registrations from other users'	Return is empty, IsReturnPaged true, TotalPageCount -1.	—
Invalid	40004	V1_{n} is deprecated. Please upgrade to V1_{m} or later.	Nothing is read or written and the token is NOT checked.	Call the same operation on the current version.
