./list/fields

The API lets you fetch lists of data such as projects, jobs, orders, people, configurations and so on.

URL

(GET) ./list/fields

Examples: /jobs/list/fields

PARAMETERS

None.

RESULTS

The result includes a cols node with a list of all available fields. Each field has these properties:

id	The column ID.	string
type	The data type, any of: Integer: A number Decimal: A number with optional decimal position '.' (dot). String: A string Date: Date part only (year, month, day) DateTime: Full date/time Boolean: A boolean Hyperlink: Contains a hyperlink or email link etc. Image: Contains an image reference. To display the image you need to call the media related API method. Label: The selected option for the label's value or null if label is not assigned. There is one field per label of an object. LabelCount: Total assigned labels of an object. Contains a property "cnt" with total set labels and "xp" with explicitly set labels. Object: Any other data type	string
control	Specifies how a user can select values (e.g. how a UI filter control would be implemented): Standard: Corresponding to the type. For example, a string-type would be a free text field. Select: Field can have null or a value from a list. See the "options" property for either AJAX information or list of permitted values/titles. SelectMulti: Field can contain multiple values from a list. See "options" property like above. SelectEditable: Field proposes a list but user can type any other string as well. See "options" property like above.	string
name	A user friendly title of the field.	string
desc	A user friendly description of the field.	string
fname	Filter title if different from "title". Whereas "title" is worded to serve as a column header in a list, "ftitle" is focused to be used as a filter control label.	string?
fdesc	Filter description/tooltip if different from "desc"	string?
nullable	If true then the field can have a null value.	bool
max	Optional maximum length of the field value.	int?
isdata	True if the field is always included with the results. Generally, these are fields not shown to end users: Internal object identifiers etc.	bool
iscol	A column field. A field that can be shown to end users. In the Wordbee system the field is shown in a separate grid column.	bool
iscoldef	A default column field. By default this field is shown to the user.	bool
canquery	If true then the field can be filtered by means of the layout.query parameter.	bool
cansort	If true then data can be sorted by this field.	bool
canautocomplete	If true, then you can use the auto-completion service for this field. See ./list/autocomplete (post)	bool
options	This is used for filtering or querying purposes. For example: Pickup list fields may require you to know which possible values the field can have. Full details can be found here: Field types and options Example for an ajax instruction to retrieve the list of all codes and titles. Example for task codes: "options": { "otype": "dicajax", "url": "/settings/tasks/codes", "key": "v", "value": "t" } Example of a key / value list of options: "options": { "otype": "dic", "items": [ { "v": 0, "t": "Fixed assignment" }, { "v": 1, "t": "Job opening" }, { "v": 2, "t": "Crowd" } ] } More information	object?
width	Optional default user interface width. For example: "10%", "200px" etc. Null means that the width will be adjusted automatically in the web interface.	string?
uifilter	Internal use. 0 = no filter, 1 = top, 2 = primary, 3 = secondary

About fields in results

If you execute a query with ./list/full you get:

All fields

If you specify your fields when querying ./list, you get:

All fields listed in the query's fields parameter
And all fields with isdata = true (these cannot be removed)

If you do not specify your fields when querying ./list, you get:

And all fields with isdata = true or iscoldef = true
