# GetTagNames

Returns the names of all fields in IDOL Server that have the specified type or field code.

Fields return with their full path, which indicates their hierarchical position in IDOL Server (for example, `DOCUMENT/DRETITLE` or `World/Continent/Country/Region/Town`). IDOL Server creates this hierarchy when it indexes the documents. If you index XML files, their hierarchy is translated into the field path. If you index IDX files, the IDXFieldPrefix configuration parameter specifies a basic XML hierarchy for the IDX files.

The action returns the attribute `code="NN"`, which specifies the unique field code assigned to each field. For example:

    <responsedata>
       <autn:name code="19">XML/DOCUMENT/COUNTRY/CAPITAL</autn:name>
       <autn:name code="45">XML/DOCUMENT/COUNTRY/LANGUAGE</autn:name>
       <autn:name code="61">XML/DOCUMENT/COUNTRY/POPULATION</autn:name>
       <autn:number_of_fields>3</autn:number_of_fields>
    ...
    </responsedata>

The action also returns a summary count of how many fields of each field type exist. For example:

    <responsedata>
       <autn:name code="19">XML/DOCUMENT/COUNTRY/CAPITAL</autn:name>
    ...
       <autn:count type="index">2</autn:count>
       <autn:count type="reference">1</autn:count>
       <autn:count type="date">2</autn:count>
       <autn:count type="expire">0</autn:count>
    </responsedata>
