Public fields

Id

The object identifier. The format is specific to each object type. See the individual object file for the particular specification

Mnemonic

For all object types bar indices, this is the same as the Id property. For indices, the ID (of the form X#:Xnnnnn where n is a digit) is returned when you create an index and is used to manage the index via the API interface. The Mnemonic property is specified when creating an index and is used to reference the index when using Datastream tools such as Charting, Datastream For Office, etc. A mnemonic has format X#aaaaa where aaaaa is 1 to 6 alphanumeric characters.

DisplayName

A string describing the object. The maximum length varies from object type to object type.
Expression: Max 30 alphanumeric characters.
Index: Max 60 alphanumeric characters.
List: Max 60 alphanumeric characters.
Regression: Max 50 alphanumeric characters.
Timeseries: Max 64 alphanumeric characters.

Created

a datetime value representing the date when the object was first created.

LastModified

a datetime value representing the date when the object was last updated.
