Entity collections¶
Introduction¶
Entity collection is a list that contains various attributes. For example, you can have an entity list Objects
and another one for Activities
.
The list contains the entity attributes. The attributes follow a fixed syntax and always start with the prefix @[
and end with the suffix
]
. Between prefix and suffix, you have to define the name of the attribute. The name is an alphanumeric character and may include a period separator, such as Math.Task
.
