How to read this reference

Every non-App example assumes App sales and the named Model already exist. Referenced targets must exist in the same candidate workspace or in a declared dependency. The examples show the smallest useful shape; see Nested metadata structures for every child property.

Common non-App properties are:

Property	API requirement	Notes
kind	Required	One of the kinds below.
name	Required	Stable global identity and App prefix.
app	Required	Existing business App.
model	Required	Existing Model inside that App.
layer	Recommended	Effective value is the Model Layer.
label	Optional on supported kinds	User-facing text. Not every Extension schema accepts it.

Supported kinds at a glance

Kind	Kind-specific required properties	Main optional properties
app	name	label, icon, dependsOn, models
table	fields	label, titleField, indexes
enum	values	label

There is no reportExtension kind in v0.5.0.0.

App

app requires only kind and name. models may be empty. icon must come from the safe icon catalog. Every dependsOn App must be loaded when cross-App Artifacts are resolved.

{
  "kind": "app",
  "name": "sales",
  "label": "Sales",
  "icon": "app",
  "dependsOn": [],
  "models": [
    { "name": "Core", "label": "Core", "layer": "ISV" },
    { "name": "Customizations", "label": "Customizations", "layer": "CUS" }
  ]
}

Use the dedicated Model endpoint when adding or changing one Model. Creating a new App through AI REST is not supported because AI tokens can select only existing Apps.

Table

fields is required and may be empty structurally. titleField and every indexed field must exist. Field names are unique and cannot use framework system fields. Enum and reference targets must exist.

{
  "kind": "table",
  "name": "SALES_Order",
  "app": "sales",
  "model": "Core",
  "layer": "ISV",
  "label": "Sales orders",
  "titleField": "orderNo",
  "fields": [
    { "name": "orderNo", "type": "string", "mandatory": true, "maxLength": 30 },
    { "name": "amount", "type": "real", "default": 0 }
  ],
  "indexes": [
    { "name": "SALES_Order_OrderNoIdx", "fields": ["orderNo"], "unique": true }
  ]
}

Schema synchronization is additive. Removing metadata preserves physical data; changing existing SQLite structures requires a migration plan.

Enum

values is required. Each value requires an identifier name and integer value; numeric values should remain stable after deployment.

{
  "kind": "enum",
  "name": "SALES_OrderStatus",
  "app": "sales",
  "model": "Core",
  "layer": "ISV",
  "label": "Order status",
  "values": [
    { "name": "Open", "value": 0, "label": "Open" },
    { "name": "Confirmed", "value": 1, "label": "Confirmed" }
  ]
}

Form

table is required and must exist. Every field in lists/groups and every line, Chart, Report, Function, Picker, and Privilege reference is validated.

{
  "kind": "form",
  "name": "SALES_OrderForm",
  "app": "sales",
  "model": "Core",
  "layer": "ISV",
  "label": "Sales orders",
  "table": "SALES_Order",
  "listFields": ["orderNo", "amount"],
  "filterFields": ["orderNo"],
  "groups": [
    { "id": "order-general", "label": "General", "fields": ["orderNo", "amount"] }
  ]
}

Give stable id values to groups, Charts, lines, and actions that a higher Layer may override.

Menu

items is required. Each target must resolve to an existing Form, Function, or Report. Groups contain nested items.

{
  "kind": "menu",
  "name": "SALES_MainMenu",
  "app": "sales",
  "model": "Core",
  "layer": "ISV",
  "label": "Sales navigation",
  "items": [
    {
      "id": "sales-orders",
      "label": "Sales orders",
      "icon": "grid",
      "visible": true,
      "target": { "type": "form", "name": "SALES_OrderForm" }
    }
  ]
}

Privilege

All grant collections are optional, so an empty Privilege is structurally valid but grants nothing. Table permissions are operation-specific.

{
  "kind": "privilege",
  "name": "SALES_OrderMaintainPrivilege",
  "app": "sales",
  "model": "Core",
  "layer": "ISV",
  "label": "Maintain sales orders",
  "tablePermissions": [
    { "table": "SALES_Order", "read": true, "create": true, "update": true, "delete": false }
  ],
  "forms": ["SALES_OrderForm"]
}

Duty

privileges is required and every name must resolve.

{
  "kind": "duty",
  "name": "SALES_OrderProcessingDuty",
  "app": "sales",
  "model": "Core",
  "layer": "ISV",
  "label": "Process sales orders",
  "privileges": ["SALES_OrderMaintainPrivilege"]
}

Role

duties and privileges are both optional. Use Duties for reusable groupings and direct Privileges only when appropriate.

{
  "kind": "role",
  "name": "SALES_OrderClerkRole",
  "app": "sales",
  "model": "Core",
  "layer": "ISV",
  "label": "Order clerk",
  "duties": ["SALES_OrderProcessingDuty"]
}

Role metadata does not assign users or App Access; administrators perform those assignments separately.

Script

code is required. A Script registers lifecycle behavior and actions. It is executable server-side code and requires human security review.

{
  "kind": "script",
  "name": "SALES_OrderValidationScript",
  "app": "sales",
  "model": "Core",
  "layer": "ISV",
  "label": "Order validation",
  "code": "// Register reviewed hooks and events here."
}

See Develop Scripts for the execution contract.

Function

code is required. executionMode is transactional (default) or async. privileges may name Privileges required to invoke it.

{
  "kind": "function",
  "name": "SALES_RecalculateOrder",
  "app": "sales",
  "model": "Core",
  "layer": "ISV",
  "label": "Recalculate order",
  "executionMode": "transactional",
  "privileges": ["SALES_OrderMaintainPrivilege"],
  "code": "return { ok: true };"
}

Async Functions may await bounded HTTP/email services but must use explicit short transactions for database writes.

Report

dataSource and bands are required. The source Table, field elements, parameters, Line source relationships, and Tablix columns are validated.

{
  "kind": "report",
  "name": "SALES_OrderListReport",
  "app": "sales",
  "model": "Core",
  "layer": "ISV",
  "label": "Order list",
  "dataSource": "SALES_Order",
  "defaultFont": "Noto Sans Thai",
  "page": { "size": "A4", "orientation": "portrait", "margins": [40, 40, 40, 40] },
  "bands": [
    {
      "kind": "detail",
      "layout": "tablix",
      "height": 20,
      "elements": [],
      "tablix": {
        "columns": [
          { "field": "orderNo", "label": "Order", "width": 140 },
          { "field": "amount", "label": "Amount", "align": "right" }
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

Tablix is allowed only on Detail bands. See Design paginated Reports.

View

source and at least one output column are required. Field references use alias.field. Framework tables cannot be queried. Cross-App source Tables require an App dependency.

{
  "kind": "view",
  "name": "SALES_OrderSummaryView",
  "app": "sales",
  "model": "Core",
  "layer": "ISV",
  "label": "Order summary",
  "source": { "table": "SALES_Order", "alias": "o" },
  "columns": [
    { "name": "orderNo", "expression": { "type": "field", "ref": "o.orderNo" } },
    { "name": "amount", "expression": { "type": "field", "ref": "o.amount" } }
  ],
  "orderBy": [{ "column": "orderNo", "direction": "asc" }]
}

Chart

type, view, and at least one measure are required. Non-KPI Charts also require a valid dimension; KPI requires exactly one measure.

{
  "kind": "chart",
  "name": "SALES_OrderAmountChart",
  "app": "sales",
  "model": "Core",
  "layer": "ISV",
  "label": "Order amounts",
  "type": "bar",
  "view": "SALES_OrderSummaryView",
  "dimension": "orderNo",
  "measures": [
    { "field": "amount", "label": "Amount", "color": "#2563eb" }
  ],
  "legend": true,
  "stacked": false
}

Chart types are bar, line, pie, donut, and kpi.

Extension kinds

All Extensions require common placement, a target property, a Layer strictly higher than the target, and a name ending _Extension. Cross-App targets require dependsOn. Only one Extension of the same kind may target the same base from one App/Model.

The canonical name is generated from App prefix, a normalized Model name, and the target name. The target is preserved. For example, App sales, Model Customizations, and target SALES_Order produce SALES_Customizations_SALES_Order_Extension.

Table Extension

Target: table. Deltas: fields, indexes, fieldOverrides. Added field names must not already exist.

{
  "kind": "tableExtension",
  "name": "SALES_Customizations_SALES_Order_Extension",
  "app": "sales",
  "model": "Customizations",
  "layer": "CUS",
  "table": "SALES_Order",
  "fields": [{ "name": "customerReference", "type": "string", "maxLength": 40 }],
  "fieldOverrides": [{ "field": "amount", "label": "Net amount", "allowEdit": false }]
}

Form Extension

Target: form. Additive collections append new content. elementOverrides changes presentation by stable ID; lineOverrides replaces selected inherited Line presentation, fields, aggregates, or actions without changing table/refField.

{
  "kind": "formExtension",
  "name": "SALES_Customizations_SALES_OrderForm_Extension",
  "app": "sales",
  "model": "Customizations",
  "layer": "CUS",
  "form": "SALES_OrderForm",
  "listFields": ["customerReference"],
  "elementOverrides": [
    { "targetId": "order-general", "label": "Order details", "order": 10 }
  ],
  "lineOverrides": []
}

Every override targetId must exist in the effective inherited Form.

Menu Extension

Target: menu. Add root items with items; attach below an inherited group with parentId; use itemOverrides for inherited items. insertions with stable-ID paths remains supported for compatibility.

{
  "kind": "menuExtension",
  "name": "SALES_Customizations_SALES_MainMenu_Extension",
  "app": "sales",
  "model": "Customizations",
  "layer": "CUS",
  "menu": "SALES_MainMenu",
  "items": [
    {
      "id": "sales-custom-report",
      "label": "Order list report",
      "target": { "type": "report", "name": "SALES_OrderListReport" }
    }
  ],
  "itemOverrides": [
    { "targetId": "sales-orders", "label": "Orders", "visible": true, "order": 5 }
  ]
}

Enum Extension

Target: enum. values is required even when it is []. New numeric values must not destabilize existing meanings; valueOverrides relabels an inherited value by name.

{
  "kind": "enumExtension",
  "name": "SALES_Customizations_SALES_OrderStatus_Extension",
  "app": "sales",
  "model": "Customizations",
  "layer": "CUS",
  "enum": "SALES_OrderStatus",
  "values": [{ "name": "OnHold", "value": 2, "label": "On hold" }],
  "valueOverrides": [{ "name": "Confirmed", "label": "Released" }]
}

Privilege Extension

Target: privilege. Permission collections are merged and deduplicated.

{
  "kind": "privilegeExtension",
  "name": "SALES_Customizations_SALES_OrderMaintainPrivilege_Extension",
  "app": "sales",
  "model": "Customizations",
  "layer": "CUS",
  "privilege": "SALES_OrderMaintainPrivilege",
  "reports": ["SALES_OrderListReport"],
  "views": ["SALES_OrderSummaryView"]
}

Duty Extension

Target: duty. privileges is optional and appended uniquely.

{
  "kind": "dutyExtension",
  "name": "SALES_Customizations_SALES_OrderProcessingDuty_Extension",
  "app": "sales",
  "model": "Customizations",
  "layer": "CUS",
  "duty": "SALES_OrderProcessingDuty",
  "privileges": ["SALES_OrderMaintainPrivilege"]
}

Role Extension

Target: role. Add Duties and/or Privileges.

{
  "kind": "roleExtension",
  "name": "SALES_Customizations_SALES_OrderClerkRole_Extension",
  "app": "sales",
  "model": "Customizations",
  "layer": "CUS",
  "role": "SALES_OrderClerkRole",
  "duties": ["SALES_OrderProcessingDuty"]
}

Script Extension

Target: script; code is required. The resulting executable composition must be reviewed.

{
  "kind": "scriptExtension",
  "name": "SALES_Customizations_SALES_OrderValidationScript_Extension",
  "app": "sales",
  "model": "Customizations",
  "layer": "CUS",
  "script": "SALES_OrderValidationScript",
  "code": "// Register reviewed additional behavior here."
}

Function Extension

Target: function; code is required. The Chain-of-Command body receives next; call it deliberately when the base implementation must continue.

{
  "kind": "functionExtension",
  "name": "SALES_Customizations_SALES_RecalculateOrder_Extension",
  "app": "sales",
  "model": "Customizations",
  "layer": "CUS",
  "function": "SALES_RecalculateOrder",
  "code": "const result = next(args); return { ...result, customized: true };"
}

View Extension

Target: view. Joins, columns, filters, and ordering are appended; columnOverrides relabels an existing output column. The complete effective View must still pass grouping, type, App-dependency, and protected-table rules.

{
  "kind": "viewExtension",
  "name": "SALES_Customizations_SALES_OrderSummaryView_Extension",
  "app": "sales",
  "model": "Customizations",
  "layer": "CUS",
  "view": "SALES_OrderSummaryView",
  "columns": [
    { "name": "customerReference", "expression": { "type": "field", "ref": "o.customerReference" } }
  ],
  "columnOverrides": [
    { "column": "amount", "label": "Net amount" }
  ]
}

Chart Extension

Target: chart. Add measures, set legend/stacked/label, or override an existing measure by field. The effective Chart must still satisfy View output and KPI rules.

{
  "kind": "chartExtension",
  "name": "SALES_Customizations_SALES_OrderAmountChart_Extension",
  "app": "sales",
  "model": "Customizations",
  "layer": "CUS",
  "chart": "SALES_OrderAmountChart",
  "legend": false,
  "measureOverrides": [
    { "field": "amount", "label": "Net amount", "color": "#16a34a" }
  ]
}

Validation checklist

Before applying any Artifact:

1. Confirm identity, App prefix, existing Model, and effective Layer.
2. Confirm every referenced object exists in the same candidate workspace or a declared dependency.
3. Confirm field, parameter, View output, and binding types match.
4. Confirm Extension target Layer is lower and stable IDs exist.
5. Review Scripts and Functions as untrusted executable code.
6. Validate a complete ChangeSet and review diff, schemaEffects, warnings, and high-risk flags.
7. Apply only with the intended signed-in reviewer and a fresh revision.
