Web services fields

Field	Description
Maximum number of records to return	The maximum number of records you want Web Services to return at one time. This limits the response sizes of requests. Pagination is available, so additional data can still be returned.
Maximum size of request	The maximum number of characters you want users to be able to send to Web Services.
Make WSDL available to all	When set to Yes, the WSDL file can be viewed by anyone from: http://<CRM server name>/<CRM install name>/eWare.dll/webservices/CRMwebservice.wsdl Users do not need to be logged in to view the file.
Enable web services	Set to Yes to enable the Web Services functionality. Set to No to disable web services. This setting overrides the web services setting on the External Access tab on individual entities. Please refer to Changing external access settings for more information.
Dropdown fields as strings in WSDL file	Default is No. Drop-down fields are displayed in the WSDL as enumerated types, for example comp_status as an enumeration with the drop down values in it. When set to Yes, makes the enumerated types "Strings". This means that, for example, within Company there is a field called status that is of type com_type. When this option is set to Yes, it is still called status but its type is now "String".
Send and return all dates and times in universal time	Use UTC (standard for Coordinated Universal Time) timing and format for display of times and dates.
Accept web request from IP address	Specify the unique IP address that you want the WSDL file to be accessible from. When you do this, the Make Web Services Available To All field should be set to No.
Force web service logon	If the connection between the web service client and the service is unexpectedly broken, that client remains logged on to the server hosting the service. This means that a new client session will be blocked from logging on to the server. However, if you set the Force web service logon setting to Yes, the old instance of the client is automatically logged out when a new instance attempts to log on. By forcing new logons, this field prevents users from being "locked out" of a web service following a failed connection or unsuccessful logout.
