result.add(item)

  • item
    • name
    • quantity
    • decimals
    • price
    • description
    • unitquantity
    • unitcategory
    • unit

unitcategory: length, area, volume, weight, time

Quantity is the item's quantity to use when there is no units. Use UnitQuantity when you provided units. Quanity can be used as a fallback if the item doesn't have any units set.

Example: 
        result.add({
          name = "My Item",
          quantity = 12,
          price = 2.99
        });
      
        for i=1, #form.item.values do
          result.add({
            name = form.item.values[i],
            decimals = 1,
            unitquantity = area,
            unitcategory = 'area',
            unit = 'ft2'
          });
        end

result.addaction(action)

  • entry
    • action
    • executeon
    • options

Possible action:
  • 1 = Create Timesheet Entry
    • options:
    • start = date/time
    • duration = duration in seconds
    • comment = string
Possible executeon:
  • 12 = Status changed to Done

Example: 
        result.addaction({
          action = 1,
          executeon = 12,
        });

items.get(selector)

  • selector
Returned values
  • name
  • price
  • unitcategory
  • unit
  • unitquantity
  • defaultunitcategory
  • defaultunit

unit.fromto(value, from, to, category)

  • value
  • from
  • to
  • category

Possible categories:
  • length
  • area
