# Enum Class FeatureFormat.Column

Object
Enum<FeatureFormat.Column>
Column

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable`, `Comparable<FeatureFormat​.Column>`, `Constable`

Enclosing class:
  `FeatureFormat`

public static enum FeatureFormat.Column extends Enum<FeatureFormat.Column>
Identifies the columns to include in the table formatted by `FeatureFormat`. By default, all columns having at least one non-null value are shown. But a smaller set of columns can be specified to the `FeatureFormat​.setAllowedColumns(Set)` method for formatting narrower tables.

Since:
  0.8

  - ### DESIGNATION

    public static final FeatureFormat.Column DESIGNATION
    Natural language designator for the property. This is the character sequence returned by `AbstractIdentifiedType​.getDesignation()`. This column is omitted if no property has a designation.

  - ### NAME

    public static final FeatureFormat.Column NAME
    Name of the property. This is the character sequence returned by `AbstractIdentifiedType​.getName()`.

  - ### TYPE

    public static final FeatureFormat.Column TYPE
    Type of property values. This is the type returned by `DefaultAttributeType​.getValueClass()` or `DefaultAssociationRole​.getValueType()`.

  - ### CARDINALITY

    public static final FeatureFormat.Column CARDINALITY
    Cardinality (for attributes) or multiplicity (for attribute types). The cardinality is the actual number of attribute values. The multiplicity is the minimum and maximum occurrences of attribute values. The multiplicity is made from the numbers returned by `DefaultAttributeType​.getMinimumOccurs()` and `DefaultAttributeType​.getMaximumOccurs()`.

  - ### VALUE

    public static final FeatureFormat.Column VALUE
    Property value (for properties) or default value (for property types). This is the value returned by `AbstractAttribute​.getValue()`, `AbstractAssociation​.getValue()` or `DefaultAttributeType​.getDefaultValue()`.

  - ### CHARACTERISTICS

    public static final FeatureFormat.Column CHARACTERISTICS
    Other attributes that describes the attribute. This is made from the map returned by `AbstractAttribute​.characteristics()`. This column is omitted if no property has characteristics.

  - ### REMARKS

    public static final FeatureFormat.Column REMARKS
    Whether a property is deprecated, or other remarks. This column is omitted if no property has remarks.

- ## Method Details

  - ### values

    public static FeatureFormat.Column[] values()
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.
    Returns:
      an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

  - ### valueOf

    public static FeatureFormat.Column valueOf(String name)
    Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    Parameters:
      `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    Returns:
      the enum constant with the specified name
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name
      `NullPointerException` - if the argument is null
