Response Explanation

The response is a collection of objects that have the following properties:

• EntityName:                         table name in the database
• EntityNameDisplay:             title of table
• AllowAdd:                             allows you to use this table in Add Endpoint
• AllowEdit:                             allows you to use this table in Update Endpoint
• AllowView:                            allows you to use this table in Get Endpoint

Schema (POST)

Select the Schema, then the Headers tab. Set your values for url address and the token. Ensure POST is selected for the request type and Content-Type is set to application/json.

You will need the EntityName mentioned in the EntityList response as a URL segment (e.g.: Customers). The EntityName is prefixed with “tbl” when you query EntityList Endpoint. You must remove the “tbl” part.

You will need to adjust the URL /API2/CSSAPI/V2/EntityName/Schema
