FieldAliases property

This settings object is a list of FieldAlias objects. A FieldAlias creates a link between a name/alias and a FieldDescriptorID. This way, a client application or web UI can know what a field actually means.

For example, imagine that a DomInstance is used to log time punched in by employees. The DomInstance would then have fields that represent the start and end time. When a client UI has to display the DomInstance on a timeline, it needs to know which FieldValues represent the start and stop time. The client UI can then use the FieldAliases list to retrieve the FieldDescriptorIDs linked to the pre-determined aliases for these two timestamps (e.g. "PunchInTime" and "PunchOutTime").

Important

This setting can be used from DataMiner 10.2.9/10.3.0 onwards. While the property is already available in earlier versions, the values do not persist in the database prior to DataMiner 10.2.9/10.3.0.
