Entity Column

All entities and sub-entities are grouped in a hierarchically ordered tree structure in the left column of the main UI. An entity can either be a top-level entity or one of several possible child- or sub-entities. Restrictions to the parent-child relations can be made for each entity in the Data Model Editor.

• New top-level entities can be created using the + Add new Top-Level-Entity button below the search-bar. Please make sure that the entity type was previously created in the Data Model Editor. Newly created top-level entities will appear at the bottom of the tree structure.
• Sub-entities can be created by right clicking on an entity and choosing + Add new Sub-Entity.
• A right click on one of the entities also allows to duplicate or delete the selected entity.
• The search bar in this column is restricted to entities and sub-entities only. Like with the global search in the header-bar you can either click on one of the provided results to jump to the entry or press Enter in order to highlight all matching entities in the tree.
• The entities in the tree structure can be sorted by rank of creation, alphabetically, by number of sub-entities or by entity types using the icons above the tree structure. While sorting by rank is active the position of single entities can be changed by drag and drop.
