Description

This session provides methods to retrieve InquiryEnabler to Inquest mappings. An InquiryEnabler may appear in multiple Inquest objects. Each inquest may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to look at it.

This lookup session defines several views:

  • comparative view: elements may be silently omitted or re-ordered
  • plenary view: provides a complete result set or is an error condition
MethodcanLookupInquiryEnablerInquestMappings

A return of false indicates that it is known lookup methods in this session will result in a PERMISSION_DENIED. This is intended as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer lookup operations to unauthorized users.

Returnboolean false if looking up mappings is not authorized, true otherwise
