--|isSequence|(% style="width:827px" %)The isSequence [[facet>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] indicates whether the values are intended to be ordered, and it may work in combination with the interval, startValue, and endValue [[facet>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] or the timeInterval, startTime, and endTime, [[facets>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]]. If this [[attribute>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]] holds a value of true, a start value or time and a numeric or time interval must be supplied. If an end value is not given, then the sequence continues indefinitely.
--|interval|(% style="width:827px" %)The interval [[attribute>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]] specifies the permitted interval (increment) in a sequence. In order for this to be used, the isSequence [[attribute>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]] must have a value of true.
--|startValue|(% style="width:827px" %)The startValue [[facet>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] is used in conjunction with the isSequence and interval [[facets>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] (which must be set in order to use this [[facet>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]]). This [[facet>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] is used for a numeric sequence and indicates the starting point of the sequence. This value is mandatory for a numeric sequence to be expressed
--|endValue|(% style="width:827px" %)The endValue [[facet>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] is used in conjunction with the isSequence and interval [[facets>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] (which must be set in order to use this [[facet>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]]). This [[facet>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] is used for a numeric sequence and indicates that ending point (if any) of the sequence.
--|timeInterval|(% style="width:827px" %)The timeInterval [[facet>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] indicates the permitted duration in a time sequence. In order for this to be used, the isSequence [[facet>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] must have a value of true.
--|startTime|(% style="width:827px" %)The startTime [[facet>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] is used in conjunction with the isSequence and timeInterval [[facets>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] (which must be set in order to use this [[facet>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]]).

--|maxLength|(% style="width:827px" %)The maxLength [[facet>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] specifies the maximum length of the value in characters.
--|minValue|(% style="width:827px" %)The minValue [[facet>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] is used for inclusive and exclusive ranges, indicating what the lower bound of the range is. If this is used with an inclusive range, a valid value will be greater than or equal to the value specified here. If the inclusive and exclusive data type is not specified (e.g., this [[facet>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] is used with an integer data type), the value is assumed to be inclusive.
--|maxValue|(% style="width:827px" %)The maxValue [[facet>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] is used for inclusive and exclusive ranges, indicating what the upper bound of the range is. If this is used with an inclusive range, a valid value will be less than or equal to the value specified here. If the inclusive and exclusive data type is not specified (e.g., this [[facet>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] is used with an integer data type), the value is assumed to be inclusive.
--|decimals|(% style="width:827px" %)The [[decimals>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Decimals.WebHome]] [[facet>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] indicates the number of characters allowed after the [[decimal>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Decimals.WebHome]] separator.
--|pattern|(% style="width:827px" %)The pattern [[attribute>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]] holds any regular expression permitted in the implementation syntax (e.g., W3C XML Schema).
++|isSequence|(% style="width:827px" %)The isSequence [[facet>>doc:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] indicates whether the values are intended to be ordered, and it may work in combination with the interval, startValue, and endValue [[facet>>doc:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] or the timeInterval, startTime, and endTime, [[facets>>doc:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]]. If this [[attribute>>doc:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]] holds a value of true, a start value or time and a numeric or time interval must be supplied. If an end value is not given, then the sequence continues indefinitely.
++|interval|(% style="width:827px" %)The interval [[attribute>>doc:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]] specifies the permitted interval (increment) in a sequence. In order for this to be used, the isSequence [[attribute>>doc:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]] must have a value of true.
++|startValue|(% style="width:827px" %)The startValue [[facet>>doc:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] is used in conjunction with the isSequence and interval [[facets>>doc:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] (which must be set in order to use this [[facet>>doc:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]]). This [[facet>>doc:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] is used for a numeric sequence and indicates the starting point of the sequence. This value is mandatory for a numeric sequence to be expressed
++|endValue|(% style="width:827px" %)The endValue [[facet>>doc:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] is used in conjunction with the isSequence and interval [[facets>>doc:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] (which must be set in order to use this [[facet>>doc:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]]). This [[facet>>doc:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] is used for a numeric sequence and indicates that ending point (if any) of the sequence.
++|timeInterval|(% style="width:827px" %)The timeInterval [[facet>>doc:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] indicates the permitted duration in a time sequence. In order for this to be used, the isSequence [[facet>>doc:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] must have a value of true.
++|startTime|(% style="width:827px" %)The startTime [[facet>>doc:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] is used in conjunction with the isSequence and timeInterval [[facets>>doc:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] (which must be set in order to use this [[facet>>doc:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]]). This [[attribute>>doc:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]] is used for a time sequence and indicates the start time of the sequence. This value is mandatory for a time sequence to be expressed.
++|endTime|(% style="width:827px" %)The endTime [[facet>>doc:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] is used in conjunction with the isSequence and timeInterval [[facets>>doc:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] (which must be set in order to use this [[facet>>doc:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]]). This [[facet>>doc:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] is used for a time sequence and indicates that ending point (if any) of the sequence.
++|minLength|(% style="width:827px" %)The minLength [[facet>>doc:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] specifies the minimum and length of the value in characters.
++|maxLength|(% style="width:827px" %)The maxLength [[facet>>doc:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] specifies the maximum length of the value in characters.
++|minValue|(% style="width:827px" %)The minValue [[facet>>doc:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] is used for inclusive and exclusive ranges, indicating what the lower bound of the range is. If this is used with an inclusive range, a valid value will be greater than or equal to the value specified here. If the inclusive and exclusive data type is not specified (e.g., this [[facet>>doc:Glossary.Facet.WebHome]] is used with an integer data type), the value is assumed to be inclusive.
