Get the layout of a measure by using the GetLayout method.
Example
In this example, the first step is to create a measure and then to display its layout.
1. Create the measure Measure01. The label of the measure is Count of Country. Its definition is Count(Country).
The client sends:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 2,
"method": "CreateMeasure",
"handle": 1,
"params": [
{
"qInfo": {
"qId": "Measure01",
"qType": "Measure"
},
"qMeasure": {
"qLabel": "Count of Country",
"qDef": "=Count(Country)"
}
}
]
}
The engine returns:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 2,
"result": {
"qReturn": {
"qType": "GenericMeasure",
"qHandle": 2
},
"qInfo": {
"qId": "Measure01",
"qType": "Measure"
}
},
"change": [
2
]
}
The measure is created and has 2 as a handle.
2. Display the layout of the measure. The handle of the request is 2 because the measure has 2 as a handle.
The client sends:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 4,
"method": "GetLayout",
"handle": 2,
"params": []
}
The engine returns:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 4,
"result": {
"qLayout": {
"qInfo": {
"qId": "Measure01",
"qType": "Measure"
},
"qMeasure": {
"qLabel": "Count of Country",
"qDef": "=Count(Country)",
"qGrouping": "N",
"qExpressions": [],
"qActiveExpression": 0
}
}
}
}
The label and definition of the measure are returned.
