The Column element

Description

Declares a column inside a synchronization events table on the Mobilengine Cloud.

Usage

<Column
  Name="name"
  Type="type"
  AgentName="selective-sync">
</Column>

Parameters

Parameter	Description
name (required)	The string value name of the column, which must be unique across the synchronization events table. Only alphanumeric characters are allowed, and column names may not start with a number.
type (required)	The allowed data type for values in the column. Valid values are `Text`, `Integer`, `Float`, and `Date`.
selective-sync	A boolean value that specifies whether the column contains the user names of mobile client users. The default value is false. Exactly one of the columns in a synchronization events table needs to have this attribute set to `true`.

Remarks

A synchronization event is always bound to an individual mobile user - a specific event fires and then is discarded when its assigned user's mobile client synchronizes with the Cloud. The assigned user's user name needs to be stored in the synchronization events table, in a column marked with the AgentName="true" attribute.

Sample

ping.evem

<Event Name="ping" xmlns="http://schemas.mobilengine.com/event/v1">
  <Columns>
    <Column Name="user" Type="Text" AgentName="true"></Column>
    <Column Name="item" Type="Text"></Column>
  </Columns>
</Event>
