DataSourceType

The reusable conversion contract between a domain-native input format and one or more evaluation-ready data types. Every concrete data source references one of these through its source and target pair.

idstring

Deterministic identifier of the data source type, derived as source.type:source.store.

Example:"demo:data-types:planning-assumption-reference:comm-store"

sourceobject(Source)required

The user-facing input format - a registered data type and the store it lives in. Together with target, it selects the matching data source type.

Example:

{
  "store": "fdplan",
  "type": "production-forecast-fdplan-workbook"
}

targetsArray of stringsrequired

List of evaluation data types that this source can be converted into.

Example:

[
  "production-forecast"
]

editorsArray of objects or null(Editor)

List of editors defining how data source type is provided.

Example:

[
  {
    "editorURL": "",
    "name": "fdplan-file-selector",
    "type": "Both"
  }
]

viewersArray of objects or null(Viewer)

List of viewers defining how data source type is viewed.

Example:

[]

transformationProviderobject(TransformationProvider)

Transformation provider defines which provider is used to process the data.

Example:

{
  "name": "system"
}

copyProviderobject(CopyProvider)

Copy provider defines which provider copies the data sources of this data source type. Defaults to system (FDPlan copies internally); set a custom name to delegate copying to an external worker, which then handles copy_transformation_required events. Data source types in the fdplan store can only be processed by the system worker and are not allowed to have a custom copy provider.

Example:

{
  "name": "system"
}

isSystemboolean

true for built-in types shipped with the platform.

Example:true

archivedboolean

true once the type is retired and should no longer be used to create new data sources.
