The Options tab contains selections you can invoke or remove, depending on your REST API use preferences (see Options Tab).

To change an option:

1.Select options you want to invoke; deselect those you do not want. You can use any combination of selections, including all or none.

2.Optionally set the default version of your REST API to one you specify.

NOTE   A default version set to 0 or -1 uses the most recent version of the REST API.

3.Click Apply.

If the query is successful, the Raw IO tab at the bottom will turn green and show you a record of your request and its response. If you are using the Formatted IO tab to track your outputs, you only see the response values.

If you are unsuccessful, the Raw IO tab will turn red and return an error. The Formatted IO tab will fail to populate with defined values, returning an error.
