#Event warnings

_warnings is omitted when there are no notices. Identical messages appear once.

  • Different items and items_declared sets produce a filing-level notice. List and screening responses combine the affected filing count for that page into one notice.
  • Selecting items on the detail endpoint produces a notice if sections are omitted.
  • Reading a standalone unresolved amendment produces a notice.
  • Returned attachments without text produce a notice.
  • History limits, the company's other symbols or CIKs (Company symbols and CIKs) and the screening pagination cap may produce notices.
