Methods
Adds a field definition with the given name and properties.
- The supportedOperators parameter specifies which operations (such as $$$MDOPEQUAL) will be available for filtering criteria
- For dataType, choose either $$$MDDTSTRING, $$$MDDTNUMBER or $$$MDDTDATE ($horolog format)
- Use storage to control how values are stored: $$$MDSTNORMAL for cases where you would use a normal index, $$$MDSTBITMAP where you would use a bitmap index (few different metadata values compared to total # of records)
- If dataType is $$$MDDTSTRING, caseSensitive controls whether or not string values should be treated as case-sensitive.
- The lovId and validateLov parameters define whether a List Of Values is available for this metadata field and whether input values should be verified against this list. See also AddListOfValues().
- If hidden is set to true, the field will by default not appear in metadata field and value lists.
Adds a List Of Values to the domain, which can then be used as a list of allowable values for one or more metadata fields.
Create a %iKnow.Filters.Filter instance that filters sources according to the given criteria, using the filter class compatible with this %iKnow.Queries.MetadataI implementation.
For the default MetadataAPI, this is a %iKnow.Filters.SimpleMetadataFilter instance.
Returns the "spread" of metadata values (number of distinct values) for field pFieldName for the entities in pEntityList, in the sources satisfying pFilter. When specifying multiple entities, sources (and their metadata values) are included based on the value of pSetOp: if pSetOp = $$$UNION, only one entity has to be present (default), if pSetOp = $$$INTERSECT, all of them need to be present.
Returns the "spread" of metadata values (number of distinct values) for field pFieldName for the entities in pEntityIdList, in the sources satisfying pFilter. When specifying multiple entities, sources (and their metadata values) are included based on the value of pSetOp: if pSetOp = $$$UNION, only one entity has to be present (default), if pSetOp = $$$INTERSECT, all of them need to be present.
Returns the number of unique metadata values for a given field pFieldName in the sources satisfying the supplied filter, after normalization based on the field specifications such as case sensitivity and data type.
Sets (or replaces if it exists) the value for a given metadata field (by name) for a given source (by External ID).
Values for fields of type $$$MDDTSTRING are normalized and stripped of whitespace and control characters at the beginning and end of the string.
Sets (or replaces if it exists) the value for a given metadata field (by ID) for a given source (by Source ID). Explicitly setting a value to "" (null/empty string) will erase the current value.
Values for fields of type $$$MDDTSTRING are normalized and stripped of whitespace and control characters at the beginning and end of the string.
Updates the properties for a given metadata field (by name). See also AddField().
Specifying a "" for the supportedOperators will leave the current value for that property. Similarly, specifying -1 for storage, hidden and validateLov or -2 for lovId will leave their respective values unmodified. Setting lovId to -1 will unset the LOV for this field.

Queries
Returns all field definitions (including their properties) for the given domain.
Setting includeHidden to true will also return any metadata fields marked as 'hidden'.
Returns all the unique metadata values for field pFieldName in sources satisfying the supplied filter, optionally sorted by value (pSortType = "VALUE") or frequency (pSortType = "FREQUENCY"). The returned frequency represents the number of sources with this metadata value (satisfying the filter).
NOTE: sorting by value is only precise up to the 150 first characters
Returns all the unique metadata values for field pFieldId in sources satisfying the supplied filter, optionally sorted by value (pSortType = "VALUE") or frequency (pSortType = "FREQUENCY"). The returned frequency represents the number of sources with this metadata value (satisfying the filter).
NOTE: sorting by value is only precise up to the 150 first characters
Returns the actual metadata values for the given source (by External ID).
Setting includeHidden to true will also return the values for hidden metadata fields.
