Data: ptp

  • Namespace: http://genologics.com/ri/processtype
  • XML Schema File: processtype.xsd

The data in this namespace is divided into elements and types. Types define the structure of the data. Elements define specific instances of the types, and are therefore more relevant to REST endpoints, which generally consume and/or produce elements.

The following elements are members of this namespace:

The following types are members of this namespace:

Element process-type

The process-type element contains the XML representation of a type of process configured in the system.

Element process-types

The representation for a list of process type links.

The system enforces a maximum number of elements when generating the list of links. When the size of the request result set is larger than the system maximum, the list represents a paged view of the overall results, and the previous-page and next-page elements provide URIs linking to the previous or next page of links in the overall results.
