Object Tab

In the Object tab, you can generate query resource path part of OData URI; and you can use the rest four tabs to provide a variety of approaches for query options combination.

The Object tab includes two parts: resource tree part is in the upper left of the tab; query options and output preview part are on the right of the tab. For more details, see Resource Tree and Query Options and Output Preview.

Note: The right side is empty in initial state unless a resource node is selected.

As OData official documentation illustrates, a URL used by an OData service has at most three significant parts: the service root URL, resource path and query options.

In some sense, the object tab is an entry of URI builder, beginning of URI constructing, the tree node selected and query option selected. It affects the visibility and content of other tabs.

  • Resource Tree
    Resource type represented by tree nodes can be divided into 3 classes: Entity Set , Property and Navigation Property.
  • Query Option and Output Preview
    The Query Option area and the Output Preview area are on the right side of the Build OData URI wizard.
