{
  "type": string,
  "scope": string,
  "inputColumns": object,
  "inputNetwork": object
}

type

Denoting the source of the data. Valid values are:

  • node: The service-based app wants the node table as input data.
  • edge: The service-based app wants the edge table as input data.
  • network: The service-based app wants the entire network (current network) as input data.

scope

Provides a way to filter the data sent to the service-based app. This only applies to the current network:

  • dynamic (default): If there are selected elements, use selected elements. Otherwise, use all elements.
  • selected: Only send the selected elements to the service. If there is no selection, the menu item for this app will be grayed out.
  • all: Always send all elements to the service.

inputColumns

Defines how node/edge columns should be sent to service.

NOTE: Should only be set if type is node or edge

inputNetwork
