v25.12:  OData Snippets

OData snippets are provided for sheets. This snippet type includes rows and filters but does not contain columns. Additionally, a new field, Technical ID, has been introduced in OData snippets to enable exposing them as OData services. The Technical ID is unique across all snippet types, not just OData snippets.

Key Benefits:

• Enable automated extraction of specific snippets without manual export via API.

• Reduce dependency on UI-based interactions.

• Allow consumers to fetch only required snippets using filters, and query options (e.g., $filter in OData).

• Provide up-to-date data access directly from the source system.

Create an OData Snippet

1. In JustPerform web, go to the Modelling tab and select a sheet to base the snippet on.

2. In the level 2 header, locate the Snippet icon to start creating a snippet. The Snippet menu contains two panes: Public and Private. Users can access existing snippets here.

3. Select Create Snippets at the bottom and select OData. A snippet creation pane will open.

   

4. Fill in the Snippet details as below:

   • Name: Name of the OData.

   • Title: OData name to be displayed.

   • Technical ID: A unique ID across all snippet types, not just OData snippets. You can reference the Technical ID when using the OData snippet as an OData service.

   • Layout: Field attributes moved from the Fields section will appear here.

     Click the Filter icon to select members. Click the Ellipsis icon to move fields within the layout or remove them.

5. Click Refresh to apply the changes and view updated data.

6. Click Publish to publish the snippet.
