The type-group has a limited support for canvas apps. When the type groups can easily resolve to a common type, the "most compatible" type (generally the least specific type) is chosen for the type of the given column. The resolvable type groupings are as follows:

  • Strings: SingleLine.Text, Multiple, SingleLine.TextArea, SingleLine.Email, SingleLine.Phone, SingleLine.URL, SingleLine.Ticker.
  • Numbers: Decimal, FP, Whole.None, Currency.
  • Dates: DateAndTime.DateAndTime, DateAndTime.DateOnly.

For example, the following type group results in the component receiving the value Decimal as the type for the given parameter's type:

<type-group name="numeric">
       <type>FP</type>
       <type>Decimal</type>
       <type>Whole.None</type>
</type-group>

When a type-group includes a value that is not included in any of the above groups, or includes values from more than one group, the first value listed in the type-group is chosen as the type for that parameter.

For example, the following type group results in the component receiving the value TwoOptions for the given parameter's type:

<type-group name="example1">
       <type>TwoOptions</type>
       <type>Decimal</type>
       <type>FP</type>
</type-group>

While the following would again receive "Decimal":

<type-group name="example2">
       <type>Decimal</type>
       <type>TwoOptions</type>
       <type>FP</type>
</type-group>

Example

<type-group name="numbers">
      <type>Whole.None</type>
      <type>Currency</type>
      <type>FP</type>
      <type>Decimal</type>
    </type-group>
