Documentation
Definition
Entities, which are physical or abstract objects (such as Mr. Douglas, the "Sales Information System" project), are divided according to their properties into entity types. Each entity type is assigned attributes, which describe the entities of the entity type.
Names of entity types can contain alphanumeric characters and underscores in any given sequence. The first eight characters of an entity type name should not be the same of that of another entity type, since this would mean that the default view name could not be used for Dictionary assignment.
