Sometimes you might need to manually define a schema that identifies a schema item as a
field of an object contained within an array. In the following example, the id, billable, rate,
and duration schema fields are all considered attributes of an object contained within the row
array:
results : XML
datapacket : Object
row : Array
[n] : object
@id : Integer
@billable : Boolean
@rate : Number
@duration : Integer
NO
TE
The
index for
property appears only in the Binding attributes pane for a schema
item that is the field of an object within an array.
