Data Types

Data Types in t6

t6 implement a list of 8 datatypes. Each of them is storing Datapoint value to a specific Field (and cannot be moved later).

DataType	Field in Db
Boolean	valueBoolean
Date	valueDate
Float	valueFloat
Geo	valueGeo
Integer	valueInteger
Json	valueJson
String	valueString
Time	valueTime

Each of them is having two attributes: type and classification which must match the following diagram:

A specific Api is provided to list those datatypes dynamically including their attributes (including id referring to identifier to be used when creating/editing resources from the Api) : General - Get DataTypes
