Query URI Builder

The URI builder is used for building the OData query URI. You can click URI Builder in the OData URI area of the OData Query activity to open the Build OData URI wizard.

Note: Before using the URI builder, ensure that you have selected an OData Connection share resource.

The URI builder includes the following panels:

  • Builder tabs: this panel is in the upper left of the Build OData URI wizard. It is used to manipulate the formation of query URI displayed in the URI viewer. It contains six tabs: Object, Filters, Columns, Orders, Expands and Pagination. Each tab controls one aspect of OData query URI.
  • URI viewer: this panel is at the bottom of the Build OData URI wizard. It is a read-only display region, in which manual changes are not allowed.

The URI builder supports the following segments, options, and operator.

  • Basic resource segments: $count, $value and $ref.
  • Query options: $filter, $select, $orderby, $expand, $count, $skip and $top.
  • Lambda operators: any.
Note: The URI builder does not support $all, $crossjoin, $search, $batch, $entity, $root, $id, $levels and $format. You cannot get these options directly through the clicking or picking operations.
