Fields​

schema​

Tags: required, case-insensitive

"schema" : { "type" : "string" }

The schema field defines the schema that is being used. It is any identifiable string about the standard or platform that the data follows. A developer who wishes to implement the schema will use the schema to filter data that they support and process it appropriately.

For the hcs-9 standard, the schema is defined as hcs-9.

permissions​

Tags: optional, module

Permissions is an array of modules that define who is allowed to perform the update action.

Permissions are used for this purpose for every action. This specification implements a number of default permission modules. This is covered in more detail on the Permissions page.

Default Behaviour

If permissions is not defined, no user is allowed to manage.

rules​

Tags: optional

Rules is an array of rules that define additional behaviours.

####WRITING IN PROGRESS

For hcs-9 the update rules define the ability of the creator (or permitted users) to modify the poll details after registration.

For example, updateTitle , updateDescription, updateOption.
