Result Field

A result field is a field for which a partner service will send one result value per service request.

Result fields are specific to the service, therefore depending on the partner service used, the result fields displayed will differ from one service to another. When requesting an external partner service, the result fields will be displayed to the service partner to enter or select the results of the requested service.

The properties of a result field are:

• Domain: The type of field. The domain is a read only property. The possible values are:

  • Text

  • Multilingual text

  • Numerical

  • Selection

  • Date time sensitive

  • Boolean

• Code: The internal name of the result field. The code is a read-only property.

• Name: The label of the field used to return results. Depending on the service definition, this can be an editable property.

• Default Value: depending on the service definition, this can be an editable property.

Result fields are never mandatory because the service partner can send the value of the results incrementally. Once the service partner sends results in their entirety to the application, the application from which the service was requested will use a predetermined user-defined form to display the results supplied by the partner.
