Overview

CEData is an ADF library component that provides functions to work directly with CommonSpot Custom Elements.

Details for the current version of the CEData library component can be found on the CEData_1_0 page.

The core functionality performs searches on the CommonSpot data_fieldvalue table to return the custom element record data page ID. The data is then translated into an Array of Structures that is most commonly returned from the functions. This Array of Structures contains a sub-structure called Values that contains the field data values with the field ID name as the structure keys. This Array of Structures can be passed to multiple utility functions within CEData to sort, filter, compare, and diff.

The most commonly used function is getCEData. This function can return filtered sets of data, perform field specific searches, and multiple field searchs.
