fields

This action provides a list of all the available fields to the user. Note that all of ExtraView’s security is in force and an individual user will only see the fields to which he has access. Also note that there is no difference in the way that User Defined Fields (UDF’s) are shown than other fields. UDF’s are handled in a seamless way within the API.

NOTES

The include_fields=y is an optional name/value pair. If this is included then the output returned by the command will have the display type of each field returned, following the title of the field. This will return a list of fields similar to that shown in the following figure. Note that the fields will vary according to your permissions and the fields defined in your installation.

The optional select_list parameter allows the entry of one or more field names.  When this is provided, the data returned by the API call only provides the values for the fields in the list.

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.
