FieldTypes
See the description for DocumentTypes. The properties and methods are identical after replacing
DocumentTypes by FieldTypes and DocumentType by FieldType respectively.
FieldType
FieldTypes are used at two places:
- linked to a
DocumentType object, they describe the index fields for this document type,
- linked to a
FieldType itself, they describe sub-fields of an index field.
Currently, the only place where
FieldTypes are used as sub-fields of a FieldType is the TableField. Here,
these
FieldTypes describe the column definition of a table.
