The response has the following parameters:
fields – Array of objects. Contains the following information about fields: uniqueName – String. The field’s unique name. Will later be used in /members and /select requests.type – String. The field’s type. Supported values are: "string", "number", "date".caption (optional) – String. The field’s caption to appear on the UI.hierarchy (optional) – String. The hierarchy’s name. Used to configure multilevel hierarchies. Specify this property to set the field as a level of a hierarchy.parent (optional) – String. The parent level’s unique name. This property is necessary to specify if the field is a level of a hierarchy and has a parent level.folder (optional) – String. The field’s folder. Folders are used to organize groups of fields in the Field List. folder supports nesting via / (e.g., "Folder/Subfolder"). interval (optional) – String. A date’s aggregation interval to group dates on the server. The component will automatically send it in /members and /select requests. Possible values depend on how the server handles date intervals. Only for fields of the "date" type.aggregations (optional) – Array of strings. A list of supported aggregation functions for the field. To define supported aggregations for all fields, use the root aggregations property."sum", "count", "distinctcount", "average", "median", "product", "min", "max", "stdevp", "stdevs", "none", or a custom aggregation. Note: for the fields of the "number" type, Flexmonster Pivot supports built-in front-end aggregations.filters (optional) – Boolean|Object. Supported filters for the field. To define supported filters for all fields, specify the root filters property.true, or each filter type can be turned on separately: members (optional) – Boolean. A configuration of an include/exclude members filter. If true, the members filter is enabled for the field in Flexmonster.query (optional) – Boolean|Array of strings. A configuration of a conditional filter on members. To turn on this filter, either set query to true or specify an array of supported conditions.true, this enables all the conditions that exist in Flexmonster for the members filter. See the list of supported conditions for “string”, “number”, and “date” field types.valueQuery (optional) – Boolean|Array of strings. A configuration of a conditional filter on values. To turn on this filter, either set valueQuery to true or specify an array of supported conditions.true, this enables all the conditions that exist in Flexmonster for the values filter. See the list of supported conditions.aggregations (optional) – Array of strings|Object. Supported aggregation functions for all fields or fields of a certain type. Supported aggregations for a certain field can be defined in the fields.aggregations property.aggregations as an array of strings. Supported values include: "sum", "count", "distinctcount", "average", "median", "product", "min", "max","stdevp", "stdevs", "none", or a custom aggregation. Note: for the fields of the "number" type, Flexmonster Pivot supports built-in front-end aggregations.aggregations property as an object with the following properties:any (optional) – Array of strings. Supported aggregation functions for any field type.date (optional) – Array of strings. Supported aggregation functions for the "date" field type.number (optional) – Array of strings. Supported aggregation functions for the "number" field type. Note: for the fields of this type, Flexmonster Pivot supports built-in front-end aggregations.string (optional) – Array of strings. Supported aggregation functions for the "string" field type. filters (optional) – Boolean|Object. Supported filters for all fields or for fields of a certain type. To define filters for a specific field, use the fields.filters property.true, or each filter type can be configured separately for fields of a certain type: any (optional) – Boolean|Object. Supported filters for any field type.members (optional) – Boolean. A configuration of an include/exclude members filter. If true, the members filter is enabled in Flexmonster.query (optional) – Boolean|Array of strings. A configuration of a conditional filter on members. To turn on this filter, either set query to true or specify an array of supported conditions.true, this enables all the conditions that exist in Flexmonster for the members filter. There are 4 common conditions for all field types that can be specified here: "equal", "not_equal", "between", "not_between".valueQuery (optional) – Boolean|Array of strings. A configuration of a conditional filter on values. To turn on this filter, either set valueQuery to true or specify an array of supported conditions.true, this enables all the conditions that exist in Flexmonster for the values filter. See the list of supported conditions.date (optional) – Boolean|Object. Supported filters for the "date" field type.members (optional) – Boolean. A configuration of an include/exclude members filter. If true, the members filter is enabled in Flexmonster.query (optional) – Boolean|Array of strings. A configuration of a conditional filter on members. To turn on this filter, either set query to true or specify an array of supported conditions.true, this enables all the conditions that exist in Flexmonster for the members filter. See the list of supported conditions for the “date” field type.valueQuery (optional) – Boolean|Array of strings. A configuration of a conditional filter on values. To turn on this filter, either set valueQuery to true or specify an array of supported conditions.true, this enables all the conditions that exist in Flexmonster for the values filter. See the list of supported conditions.number (optional) – Boolean|Object. Supported filters for the "number" field type.members (optional) – Boolean. A configuration of an include/exclude members filter. If true, the members filter is enabled in Flexmonster.query (optional) – Boolean|Array of strings. A configuration of a conditional filter on members. To turn on this filter, either set query to true or specify an array of supported conditions.true, this enables all the conditions that exist in Flexmonster for the membersvalueQuery (optional) – Boolean|Array of strings. A configuration of a conditional filter on values. To turn on this filter, either set valueQuery to true or specify an array of supported conditions.true, this enables all the conditions that exist in Flexmonster for the values filter. See the list of supported conditions.string (optional) – Boolean|Object. Supported filters for the "string" field type.members (optional) – Boolean. A configuration of an include/exclude members filter. If true, the members filter is enabled in Flexmonster.query (optional) – Boolean|Array of strings. A configuration of a conditional filter on members. To turn on this filter, either set query to true or specify an array of supported conditions.true, this enables all the conditions that exist in Flexmonster for the members filter. See the list of supported conditions for the “string” field type.valueQuery (optional) – Boolean|Array of strings. A configuration of a conditional filter on values. To turn on this filter, either set valueQuery to true or specify an array of supported conditions.true, this enables all the conditions that exist in Flexmonster for the values filter. See the list of supported conditions.advanced – Boolean. Indicates whether the server has advanced hierarchical filters implemented. When the advanced parameter is set to true, it means that the server supports hierarchies and can filter them, so multilevel hierarchies can be configured in the component. When the parameter is false, the server cannot filter the hierarchical data. In this case, if multilevel hierarchies were configured in the Mapping Object, these configurations will be ignored. Default value: false. sorted (optional) – Boolean. If true, the fields’ order from the response will be used to display fields in the Field List.See also
