Interface ScheduleSlotSearchSession

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable, Closeable, OsidSession, OsidSession, ScheduleSlotQuerySession

public interface ScheduleSlotSearchSession
extends ScheduleSlotQuerySession

This session provides methods for searching ScheduleSlot objects. The search query is constructed using the ScheduleSlotQuery. The schedule slot record Type also specifies the record for the schedule slot query.

getScheduleSlotsByQuery() is the basic search method and returns a list of ScheduleSlots. A more advanced search may be performed with getScheduleSlotsBySearch().It accepts a ScheduleSlotSearch in addition to the query for the purpose of specifying additional options affecting the entire search, such as ordering. getScheduleSlotsBySearch() returns a ScheduleSlotSearchResults that can be used to access the resulting ScheduleSlotsList or be used to perform a search within the result set through ScheduleSlotSearch.

This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching.

• federated calendar view: searches include schedule slots in calendars of which this calendar is an ancestor in the calendar hierarchy
• isolated calendar view: searches are restricted to schedule slots in this calendar

Schedule slots may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The query record is accessed via the ScheduleSlotQuery.
