Meridian API Constants

The Meridian API provides many constants. A constant is a meaningful name that represents a number or a string and never changes. You can use constants to query for and specify application states and options. These constants can be used with their related methods (actions) and properties (data) to manipulate vault objects and control application behavior. The Meridian constants are members of enumerations that are each used for a specific purpose. You can view the constants that are contained in each enumeration with the Object Browser of the Meridian Enterprise Script Editor. The tooltip text of each constant gives a brief description of the constant.

The following table describes each Meridian constant enumeration.
