Each item in the array can either be a Field or a Panel

<readonly, nullable> shortDescription :String

The short description defined in the Scriptable object.

In AF, one can define short Description for the Fields. This API returns the short Description set on the Field. It is non null only for Field objects

Type:
  • String
Since:
  • 6.0
Inherited From:

<readonly, nullable> longDescription :String

Specifies the long description present in the Scriptable object

In AF, one can define long Description for the Objects. This API returns the long Description set on the Objects.

visible :boolean

Visiblity of the Node. True if it's visible otherwise false.

<readonly, non-null> name :string

Name of the node

Inherited From:

<readonly, non-null> somExpression :string

SOM Expression of the Node.

In Adaptive Forms SOM is a model to access fields and Panels. The SOM Expression provides easy access to the Fields and Objects through a straightforward syntax

Example
Considering the heirarchy,
-- guide
  -- panel1
  ---- field2
  ---- panel2
  ------ field3
the som Expression of field3 will be guide[0].panel1[0].panel2[0].field3[0]. The 0 here represents
the same name sibling index of that particular item in its parent. If panel2 has an additional child field3 as
  ---- panel2
  ------- field3
  ------- field3
The second field3 would have the somExpression guide[0].panel1[0].panel2[0].field3[1]

<readonly, nullable> nonLocalizedTitle :string

Non Localized Title of the element.

Type:
  • string

Inherited From:

<readonly, non-null> index :number

Index of the Node among its siblings having the same name as itself

Every node in the Adaptive Form field has an index depending on the number of same named siblings that the node has before it. If the element has no same named sibling its index will always be 0.

Type:
  • number

Inherited From:

dorExclusion :boolean

Whether the object is excluded from DOR or not

The property specifies the exclusion of the field from document of record. If the value is true, then the field is excluded otherwise included in DoR. If excludeFromDoRIfHidden property is set at guide container, the value of dorExclusion is derived from visibility of field dynamically.

Type:
  • boolean

  • 6.1-FP1
Inherited From:

<readonly> bindRef :String

Binding specified for the object

In AF, components can be bound to XML Schema or XFA elements. This API returns that binding. In case of XFA elements, it returns the SOM Expression of that element otherwise the XPATH of the element.

Type:
  • String
Since:
  • 6.2
Inherited From:

<readonly> isXsd :boolean

Whether the element is bound to XSD element or not

In AF, components can be bound to Schema(XML/JSON) or XFA elements. This API returns true if the component is bound to XML Schema false otherwise

This property can be set through the Panel Dialog. If the value is set greater than 1, the panel will be repeated at least that many times.

Negative values are ignored

Type:
  • Number

<readonly> repeatable :Boolean

Specifies if the panel is repeatable or not

* A Panel is considered repeatable if the value of minOccur property is strictly less than maxOccur

<readonly> panel :Panel

returns itself

Overrides:

<readonly> instanceManager :InstanceManager

returns the InstanceManager object managing this Panel object.

Each Panel object is managed by an InstanceManager which provides API, to retrieve the instances of the Panel, create and remove instances

Type:
Since:
  • 6.0

<readonly> instanceIndex

returns the index of the repeatable instances of this panel before it.

Each repeatable panel object has a property instanceIndex which indicates the number of repeatable instances before it. The first instance has instanceIndex 0 as there are no instances before it.

<readonly> title :string

returns the title associated with the panel
