labkey.domain.createDesign: Helper function to create a domain design data structure

Description

Create a domain design data structure which can then be used by labkey.domain.create or labkey.domain.save

Usage

labkey.domain.createDesign(name, description = NULL, fields, indices = NULL)

Value

A list containing elements describing the domain design. Any of the APIs which take a domain design parameter can accept this data structure.

Arguments

name

a string specifying the name of the domain

description

(optional) a string specifying domain description

fields

a list containing the fields of the domain design, this should be in the same format as returned by labkey.inferFields.

indices = labkey.domain.createIndices(list("ptid", "age"), TRUE)
indices = labkey.domain.createIndices(list("age"), FALSE, indices)
