The Data Hub API provides access to information that is managed by SAS Visual Investigator. This API facilitates describing data that resides in either internal writable databases or external customer-controlled read-only databases. Once the data definitions are provided as entity types, the data becomes accessible within SAS Visual Investigator. This API also provides mechanisms for fetching individual entity records that were defined by the entity type definitions. <br/> <br/>

Table Metadata

columnDataType

The actual data that is associated with a particular Entity Type. Entity Types are the metadata and Documents are the data. If a field is masked, its value will not appear in the `fieldValues` object.


Document

A representation of a Document that has the minimal amount of field masking applied. That is, for each masked field, if the requesting user is authorized to reveal its value, the value is unmasked in this representation. Otherwise the value will remain masked.


Minimally-Masked Document

A representation of a Document that has masked field values replaced with dot characters. Fields not configured to be masked are represented normally.


Masked Document

The actual data that is associated with a particular Entity Type. Entity Types are the metadata and Documents are the data. The document is "enriched" with additional data such as comments, insights, and workspaces.


Enriched Document

A representation of an Enriched Document that has the minimal amount of field masking applied. That is, for each masked field, if the requesting user is authorized to reveal its value, the value is unmasked in this representation. Otherwise the value will remain masked.


Minimally-Masked Enriched Document

Document ID Request

The metadata that defines a class of entities. This definition includes a list of fields, language-specific labels, icons, and other relevant information.


Entity Type

A single field that is associated with an entity type object.

Entity Type Field

Entity Type Summary

The abstract parent class for expression types. Subclasses include the following expression types: <ul>
  <li>Arithmetic</li>
  <li>Boolean</li>
  <li>Conditional</li>
  <li>Field Reference</li>
  <li>Function Call</li>
  <li>Literal</li>
  <li>Logical</li>
  <li>Named Parameter</li>
  <li>String</li>
</ul>


Abstract Expression

Arithmetic expression of the form: leftOperand operator rightOperand. The expression evaluates to a Boolean result.


Arithmetic Expression

The abstract type that represents a conditional or a logical expression.

Boolean Expression

A conditional expression of the form: leftOperand operator rightOperands.


Conditional Expression

A data object field that is used as an Expression in queries and SortCriteria.

Field Reference Expression

An expression that makes a function call.


Function Call Expression

A literal value to be used in an expression.

Literal Expression

A logical expression of the form: leftOperand operator rightOperand. The expression evaluates to a Boolean result.


Logical Expression

A named parameter to use when creating parameterized queries for repeated calls.

Named Parameter Expression

An expression for performing operations on String operands.


String Expression

A representation of the masking configuration for a single field.


Field Masking Configuration

A representation of the set of field restrictions that are applied to a single field. Not every kind of restriction applies to every field. For example, the "maxLength" restriction will not apply to numerical fields, but "precision" and "scale" might. Note that many endpoints documented in this REST API only populate a subset of these field restrictions (often only "masked").


Field Restriction

Represents all of the field restrictions of a datatype as a map of field name to field restriction object. The keys of this map are strings representing field names. The value mapped by each key is the Field Restriction object containing all the field restrictions for the field with that name.


Restricted Fields Map

Represents a bundle of field restrictions for related data object types, as a map of object type name to Restricted Fields Map object. The keys of this map are strings representing object type names. The value mapped by each key is the Restricted Fields Map object for that data object type. The purpose of this representation is to allow the field restrictions for a top-level entity type to be bundled with the field restrictions for all of its child entity types, in one map. In this case, the top-level entity name and the child entity names will all be sibling keys in the Field Restrictions Bundle map.


Field Restrictions Bundle

A representation of a single field value. The value is represented under the "raw" property of this object.


Field Value

Field Value Collection

This type represents an individual result from counting the relationship links for a document. The "linkCount" property contains the total number of links that were found for each type. There will be one entry for each "to" entity type. Note that if the relationship type is  heterogeneous, then the "from" entity type will have a value, but the "to" entity type will be null.


Count Links Result

A list of count links result items. Each item provides a count of the number of links between the "from" entity and other entities of a specific type.


Count Links Result Collection

Represents a list of choices that the user can select as the value for a field. Common examples might include "Size" (small, medium, large) or "Color" (red, green, blue). In the first example, "Size" is the list and (small, medium, large) are items of that list.


Reference List

A condensed summary of a Reference List object.


Reference List Summary

A Resource Collection that contains Reference List Summary objects.


Reference List Summary Collection

Reference List Item

A link between two documents as defined by a relationship type. If a field is masked, its value will not appear in the `fieldValues` object.

Relationship Link

A representation of a relationship link that has masked field values replaced with dot characters. Fields not configured to be masked are represented normally.


Masked Relationship Link

Relationship Link Collection

A collection of masked relationship links.

Masked Relationship Link Collection

A representation of a Relationship Link that has the minimal amount of field masking applied. That is, for each masked field, if the requesting user is authorized to reveal its value, the value is unmasked in this representation. Otherwise the value will remain masked.

Entity Style

The properties for styling of links for a relationship type.

Relationship Style

The shared style icon properties for a condition. When the condition is true, the style is applied.


Common Style Properties

The metadata that defines a class of transactions. This definition includes a "from" entity type, a "to" entity type, a date-time field, as well as on optional list of additional fields. A transaction, which is an instance of a transaction type, defines an action that was performed between two entities at a specific point in time.


Transaction Type

A single field that is associated with a transaction type object.

Transaction Type Field

A representation of an action against a document or link.
For example, an action could be: <ul>
  <li>Created the document</li>
  <li>Added a comment</li>
  <li>Deleted an attachment</li>
</ul>
The summary version of this representation omits detailed information about the action.


Action Summary

Action Summary Collection

Sub-Action Item

An action item representation that can be used to display a message to the user.


Label Action Item

An action item representation that can be used to present a table to the user.


Table Action Item
