Public Methods
public abstract boolean canBeUsedInReportLimits ()
public abstract int getBaseAttributeFormDataType ()
Return the data type of base attribute form, if this attribute form is defined by a base attribute form. If this attribute from is not defined by a base attribute form, -1 will be returned. It is recommended to first check whether this form is defined by a base attribute form by calling hasBaseAttributeForm().
Returns
- The data type
EnumDSSXMLDataTypeof base attribute form. This will be -1 when this attribute form is not defined by a base attribute form.
public abstract int getBaseAttributeFormID ()
Return the id of base attribute form, if this attribute form is defined by a base attribute form. If this attribute from is not defined by a base attribute form, empty string will be returned. It is recommended to first check whether this form is defined by a base attribute form by calling hasBaseAttributeForm().
Returns
- A String representing the ID of the base attribute form. This will be empty when this attribute form is not defined by a base attribute form.
public abstract int getBaseAttributeFormType ()
Return the base attribute form type, if this attribute form is defined by a base attribute form. If this attribute from is not defined by a base attribute form, -1 will be returned. It is recommended to first check whether this form is defined by a base attribute form by calling hasBaseAttributeForm().
Returns
- The base attribute form type
EnumDSSXMLBaseFormType. This will be -1 when this attribute form is not defined by a base attribute form.
public abstract String getBaseFormFormula ()
return the base form formula
Returns
- the base form formula
public abstract String getBaseFormIndex ()
public abstract int getGeoRole ()
Return the Geo role of the form.
Returns
- An Integer representing Geo Role
public abstract int getTimeRole ()
Return the Time role of the form.
Returns
- An Integer representing Time Role
public abstract String getUseDescription ()
Returns the use description of the form. The use description is the description given by the attribute to the form when it is obtained from an attribute. If the form is not obtained from an attribute, this will be empty.
Returns
- The use description of this attribute form.
public abstract String getUseName ()

public abstract boolean hasBaseAttributeForm ()
Returns whether this attribute form object is defined by a base attribute form. If it is not defined by a base attribute form, then it must be either defined by a collection of attribute form objects or it is a first-class attribute form not directly associated with any attribute.
Returns
- Return true if this attribute form is defined by a base attribute form, otherwise return false.
public abstract boolean isIDForm ()
Returns whether this form is an ID form. This will only be returned in calls to an Intelligence Server 7.2.3 or greater.
Returns
- Whether this form is an ID form.
public abstract boolean isIndexed ()
Returns
- true if this attribute form is indexed.
public abstract boolean isSearchForm ()
public abstract void setDataType (String dataType)
set data type
