CustomModuleFields

In Zoho Books, you can create a custom module to record other data when the predefined modules are not sufficient to manage all your business requirements.

Table Specific Information

Select

The driver uses the Zoho Books API to process WHERE clause conditions built with EntityName, which supports the '=' comparison. The rest of the filter is executed client-side in the driver.

NOTE: EntityName is required to query CustomModuleFields.

For example:

    SELECT * FROM CustomModuleFields WHERE EntityName = 'cm_tests_module'

    SELECT * FROM CustomModules WHERE EntityName IN ('cm_tests_module', 'cm_testingmodule')

Insert

You can execute INSERT by specifying EntityName, FieldName, IsMandatory, DataType, and ShowOnPdf columns. The columns that are not read-only can be inserted optionally. The following is an example of how to insert into this table:

INSERT INTO CustomModuleFields (EntityName, FieldName, IsMandatory, DataType, ShowOnPdf) VALUES ('cm_test1', 'fieldname23', 'fcan also be executed', 'string', 'fcan also be executed')

Insert a field of type dropdown or multiselect by specifying the Options column in addition to the above columns. The following is an example of how to insert a field of type dropdown or multiselect:

INSERT INTO CustomModuleFieldDropDownOptions#TEMP (OptionName, OptionOrder) VALUES ('option2', '2')

INSERT INTO CustomModuleFieldDropDownOptions#TEMP (OptionName, OptionOrder) VALUES ('option1', '1')

INSERT INTO CustomModuleFields (entityname, fieldname, datatype, ismandatory, showonpdf, options) VALUES ('cm_testupdate', 'field4', 'multiselect', 'fcan also be executed', 'fcan also be executed', CustomModuleFieldDropDownOptions#TEMP )

Insert a field of type autonumber by specifying AutoNumberStartingValue. The following is an example of how to insert a field of type autonumber:

INSERT INTO CustomModuleFields (entityname, fieldname, datatype, ismandatory, showonpdf, AutoNumberStartingValue) VALUES ('cm_testupdate', 'field6', 'autonumber', 'fcan also be executed', 'fcan also be executed', 3)

Update

You can execute UPDATE by specifying the FieldId in the WHERE Clause. The columns that are not read-only can be updated.

UPDATE CustomModuleFields SET FieldName = 'testingss' WHERE FieldId = 4044157000000087002

Delete

DELETE FROM CustomModuleFields WHERE FieldName = 'cf_label_1' AND entityname = 'cm_tets_module'
