Web API for Datatables

Datatables API is used to create, delete and edit datatable properties. To import data to datatables, use the importfile method.

Note that the Workspace Elements API supports also datatables.

Datatable Entity

The datatables API is based on the datatable entity, which has the following properties:

• id (integer): Datatable id.
• projectId (integer): Id of the project where the datatable is located. The datatable is moved to another project by changing this property.
• name (string): Datatable name.
• description (string): Datatable description.
• nColumns (integer): Number of columns in the datatable.
• nRows (integer): Number of rows in the datatable.
• createdDate (datetime): Datatable creation date.
• creatorId (integer): Id of the user who created the datatable.
• lastModifiedDate (datetime): Date when the datatable properties where last modified.
• lastModifierId (integer): Id of the user who last modified the datatable properties.
• lastImportedDate (datetime): Date when data was last imported to the datatable.
• lastImporterId (integer): Id of the user who last time imported data to the datatable.
• log (string): Modification and import log. Returned only when a separate parameter is specified, otherwise empty.

Only the following properties in datatable objects can be modified: Name, Description and ProjectId.
