# entities.fieldSequence

Read field sequence records with the fieldSequence repository, and change them with the field sequence mutations. Same records as the REST FieldSequences entity.

REST: [FieldSequences](https://developers.coevera.com/reference/rest/field-sequences.md).

## Queries

- `getById(entityId: ID!): FieldSequenceEntity` Returns the record with the given id, or null when there is none. Deleted records are returned as well.
- `getByIds(entityIds: [ID!]!): [FieldSequenceEntity!]!` Returns the records with the given ids; ids without a record are left out. Deleted records are returned as well.
- `getAll(limit: Int, offset: Int, filter: FieldSequenceFilterInput, orderBy: [FieldSequenceOrderByInput!], includeDeleted: Boolean): [FieldSequenceEntity!]!` Returns the records that match the filter, paged with limit and offset.
- `getByCriteria(filter: FieldSequenceFilterInput, orderBy: [FieldSequenceOrderByInput!], includeDeleted: Boolean, before: String, after: String, first: Int, last: Int): FieldSequenceEntityConnection` Returns the records that match the filter as a cursor-paginated connection.
- `getPublished(limit: Int, offset: Int, filter: FieldSequenceFilterInput, orderBy: [FieldSequenceOrderByInput!], includeDeleted: Boolean): [FieldSequenceEntity!]!` Returns the published records that match the filter, paged with limit and offset.
- `getDrafts(filter: FieldSequenceFilterInput, orderBy: [FieldSequenceOrderByInput!]): [FieldSequenceEntity!]!` Returns the records that match the filter, with pending unpublished changes applied where a draft exists.
- `getDraftById(entityId: ID!): FieldSequenceEntity!` Returns the record with the given id, with its pending unpublished changes applied when a draft exists.

## Types

### FieldSequenceEntity (object)

Numbering pattern of an auto-number field, used to generate its values for records that match the filter of the sequence.

- `isDeleteProtected: Boolean!` True when the record is protected against deletion because it must always exist in the space. Deleting a record that is not protected can still fail on other checks. Read-only.
- `hasDraft: Boolean` True when the record has unpublished draft changes, including pending translation changes, that can be published.
- `id: ID!` Unique identifier of entity.
- `isDeleted: Boolean` Specifies if the entity is considered deleted.
- `modified: DateTime` Last modification time.
- `created: DateTime` Creation time.
- `filter: JSONString` Optional filter restricting which records this sequence applies to. Empty means the sequence applies to all records.
- `pattern: String!` Pattern template used to generate auto-numbered values (e.g. "{prefix}{year}-{####}").
- `sequenceSetId: ID!` Identifier grouping all sequences (across entity types) that share the same auto-numbering pattern.
- `sortOrder: Int` Position of this sequence within its sequence set; sequences are evaluated in this order, the first whose filter matches is used.
- `isPublished: Boolean` True when the sequence is published; false while it exists only as an unpublished draft.
- `instancePermissions: [EntityPermsEnum!]! (1 args)` Permissions the current user has on this record, out of the requested ones.

### FieldSequenceEntityConnection (object)

Paginated list of FieldSequence records.

- `pageInfo: PageInfo!` Pagination data for this connection.
- `edges: [FieldSequenceEntityEdge]!` Contains the nodes in this connection.
- `totalCount: Int` Total number of items in the connection.

### FieldSequenceEntityEdge (object)

A Relay edge containing a `FieldSequenceEntity` and its cursor.

- `node: FieldSequenceEntity` The item at the end of the edge
- `cursor: String!` A cursor for use in pagination

### FieldSequenceFilterInput (input)

Filter conditions for FieldSequence records. Conditions on different fields are combined with AND; use OR, AND and NOT for other combinations.

- `OR: [FieldSequenceFilterInput!]` Matches records that meet at least one of the listed filters.
- `AND: [FieldSequenceFilterInput!]` Matches records that meet all of the listed filters.
- `NOT: FieldSequenceFilterInput` Matches records that do not meet this filter.
- `globalSearchQuery: String` Search term matched against the fields that the global search covers for this entity.
- `id: EntityFilterStringField` Unique identifier of entity.
- `isDeleted: Boolean` Specifies if the entity is considered deleted.
- `modified: EntityFilterDateTimeField` Last modification time.
- `created: EntityFilterDateTimeField` Creation time.
- `pattern: EntityFilterStringField` Pattern template used to generate auto-numbered values (e.g. "{prefix}{year}-{####}").
- `sequenceSetId: EntityFilterStringField` Identifier grouping all sequences (across entity types) that share the same auto-numbering pattern.
- `sortOrder: EntityFilterNumberField` Position of this sequence within its sequence set; sequences are evaluated in this order, the first whose filter matches is used.
- `isPublished: Boolean` True when the sequence is published; false while it exists only as an unpublished draft.

### FieldSequenceOrderByInput (input)

Sorting of FieldSequence records. Set exactly one field in each item; list several items to sort by more fields, in order of priority.

- `id: OrderByEnum` Unique identifier of entity.
- `isDeleted: OrderByEnum` Specifies if the entity is considered deleted.
- `modified: OrderByEnum` Last modification time.
- `created: OrderByEnum` Creation time.
- `sortOrder: OrderByEnum` Position of this sequence within its sequence set; sequences are evaluated in this order, the first whose filter matches is used.
- `isPublished: OrderByEnum` True when the sequence is published; false while it exists only as an unpublished draft.

Types several repositories share, such as `PageInfo` and the filter fields, are in the [types index](https://developers.coevera.com/reference/graphql/types.md). The [SDL](https://developers.coevera.com/graphql/schema.graphql) has the whole schema in one file.

## Example

```graphql
query FirstFieldSequences {
  entities {
    fieldSequence {
      getByCriteria(first: 3, orderBy: [{ modified: Desc }]) {
        totalCount
        edges { node { id modified } }
      }
    }
  }
}
```

```bash
curl 'https://{region}.api.coevera.com/api/v100/app/space/{space_id}/graphql/public' \
  --user "$COEVERA_API_KEY:$COEVERA_API_SECRET" \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{"query":"query FirstFieldSequences { entities { fieldSequence { getByCriteria(first: 3, orderBy: [{ modified: Desc }]) { totalCount edges { node { id modified } } } } } }"}'
