Request is likely the most interesting for development. The request will give you an overview of which values their names.

E.g. this is a request for an Unplanned Function called "MyUnplanned with fields like "MyDate" and "MyText".

Request example
<request name="PostAdhocRegistration" created="2020-02-14T15:24:24+01:00" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Dynamics/Mobile/2007/04/Documents/Request">
  <requestData name="PostAdhocRegistration">
    <MyText>2</MyText>
    <MyDecimal>4</MyDecimal>
    <MyDate>14-02-2020</MyDate>
