SYNTAX

http://www.myserver.com/evj/ExtraView/ev_api.action?
user_id=username
&password=password
 OR [&access_token=token-value]
&statevar=search_field_list
[&access_token=token-value]

NOTES

The delimiter used the results is the value of the DEFAULT_TEXT_REPORT_DELIMITER in the ExtraView application defaults. This command takes into account all security permissions for the user. The general form of each entry returned by the command is:

<prefix><fieldName><delimiter><fieldTitle><delimiter><parentName>

  • The parentName is blank or the immediate parent in an allowed-value or database-type relationship
  • The delimiter is that specified in in the behavior setting named DEFAULT_TEXT_REPORT_DELIMITER
  • The characters in the prefix have the following meanings:
    ~ means the field is part of a repeating row layout
    * means the field has a display type of textarea or logarea
    % means the field has a display type of user

The optional access_token parameter allows you to use a valid OAuth2 token obtained with the get_token command.  If you provide the access_token parameter, then the user_id and password parameters should not be provided.  This prevents the password being sent in clear text over your network connection.
