Aggregate

An aggregate is a cluster of domain objects that can be treated as a single unit.

Aggregate Parent:
General.MeasurementCategories
Aggregate Root:
General.MeasurementCategories

Attributes

Name	Type	Description
Code	string (16) nullable	When not null, contains unique measurement unit code. Filter(eq;like) ORD
Description	MultilanguageString (max) nullable	Full multi-language description of the measurement unit.
DisplayText	string	Uses the repository DisplayTextFormat to build the display text from the attributes and references of current object.
Divisor	decimal (9, 3)	Divisor of the relative value of the measurement unit against other units (divisor when converting to base). Required Default(1)
Id	guid
IsDefaultUnit	boolean	True if this measurement unit is the default measurement unit within the category. There can be only one default measurement unit within a category. Required Default(false) Filter(eq)
Multiplier	decimal (9, 3)	Multiplier of the relative value of the measurement unit against other units (multiplier when converting to base). Required Default(1)
Name	MultilanguageString (64)	Name of the measurement unit. Required Filter(eq;like)
ObjectVersion	int32	The latest version of the extensible data object for the aggregate root for the time the object is loaded from the database. Can be used for optimistic locking.

API Methods

Methods that can be invoked in public APIs.

GetAllowedCustomPropertyValues

Gets the allowed values for the specified custom property for this entity object. If supported the result is ordered by property value. Some property value sources do not support ordering - in that case the result is not ordered.
Return Type: Collection Of CustomPropertyValue
Declaring Type: EntityObject
Domain API Request: GET

Parameters

• customPropertyCode
  The code of the custom property
  Type: string

• search
  The search text - searches by value or description. Can contain wildcard character %.
  Type: string
  Optional: True
  Default Value: null

• exactMatch
  If true the search text should be equal to the property value
  Type: boolean
  Optional: True
  Default Value: False

• orderByDescription
  If true the result is ordered by Description instead of Value. Note that ordering is not always possible.
  Type: boolean
  Optional: True
  Default Value: False

• top
  The top clause - default is 10
  Type: int32
  Optional: True
  Default Value: 10

• skip
  The skip clause - default is 0
  Type: int32
  Optional: True
  Default Value: 0

CreateNotification

Creates a notification and sends a real time event to the user.
Return Type: void
Declaring Type: EntityObject
Domain API Request: POST

Parameters

• user
  The user.
  Type: Users

  Type: string

CreateCopy

Duplicates the object and its child objects belonging to the same aggregate. The duplicated objects are not saved to the data source but remain in the same transaction as the original object.
Return Type: EntityObject
Declaring Type: EntityObject
Domain API Request: POST
