Common Registration Info
Ask AI
TL;DR
Every registered object starts with the same fields: Name, Alias, Entity, plus a Properties section (Description, Permissible Purpose, Group, Keywords). This page defines them once so the per-object user guides don't repeat them.
The common fields
Section titled “The common fields”Create form opens with Name, Alias, and Entity. A Properties section underneath that holds the Description, Permissible Purpose, Group, and Keywords.
| Field | What it's for |
|---|---|
| NameRequired | The display name for the object and is shown on the object's details page. Keep it clear: Account Balance, not Bal_v3_FINAL. |
| AliasRequired | A short identifier used to reference the object in code and definitions, like account_balance. Follow Python identifier rules: letters, numbers, and underscores only. |
| EntityRequired | What the object is about and the level it is decisioned at: Application, Customer, Account, and so on. This sets the grain, meaning what a single row represents. Choose from the configured list. Reusable objects like Reports and Global Functions don't have an Entity. |
Properties
Section titled “Properties”| Property | What it's for |
|---|---|
| DescriptionRequired | A short summary of what the object is and why it exists. Other people will read this when they reference your object. |
| Permissible PurposeRequired | Tags that control where the object can be used, like Underwriting or PII. Tag a Data Element as PII and the platform flags any attempt to use it where PII isn't allowed. Available tags are configured in Settings. |
| GroupRequired | A folder for organizing related objects. Group also controls how the object is ordered and displayed on details pages. Search existing groups or create a new one. |
| Keywords | Optional search tags. Add if they help discoverability; otherwise skip. |
What’s Next
Section titled “What’s Next”- Register your first object: Register a Table or Register a Data Element.
- Once registered, send it for approval so it can be used outside your draft workspace.
