Result and Error Codes
​
Jobs are made up of Actions, and each Action has a key-value pair:
But every Job also has an overall result, which is summarized in the Result Code.
If you prefer to use Smile Identity's binary results instead of interpreting individual Actions you can use Result Codes to build your business logic.
Result Codes for all jobs fall into one of three categories:
Approved (or Pass) This means that all applicable Actions passed and the overall job was approved.
Provisionally Approved This means that the job is awaiting a human review, or that a human review was inconclusive or that part of a job passed but another part was unable to be completed. You can treat these jobs as Approved or you handle them based on the Result Code. Please note a
Pure Provisionalresult is a provisionally approved job, but one in which the image comparison Action was provisionally approved but the identity validation Action failed or could not return data. Also note, aPending Approvalresult is a custom Strict setting where the user cannot progress in the system without a human review being completed on the Pending job.Rejected (or Fail) This means that one or more of the applicable Actions for job failed, and thus, the overall job was rejected according to Smile Identity standards.
Error Codes are presented when a job could not be submitted due to a logical/technical issue. These jobs do not show up in the portal job list and do not have a Smile Job ID.

​
When a Register with ID job is submitted with an ID number there can be up to 3 results codes generated and sent through the callback.
Each job of this type returns a result code from the ID number lookup. These codes are the same as for a ID Validation (job type 5) job.
In the case where the ID number lookup did not return a photo AND there is no ID card image to compare the selfie against processing will stop and a return a second code (0908, 1013, or 1014). In the case where the ID number lookup did not return a photo AND there is ID card image to compare the selfie against, processing will continue.
When processing can continue, that is, there is either an ID card image or an issuer photo to compare to the selfie , a code will be returned that is the result of the machine evaluation of the comparison (08xx). If the machine result is inconclusive, the job will be sent to human review and a third code sent (12xx) which is the result of that review.
