Entity

An Entity is a single data point in your research. To stick with the Coin example, you can implement all different coins that you have found.

Entity Tree

All entities are structured in a hierarchical way. This way you can keep all the entities organized and have can access the subtrees in a meaningful way. This is especially useful, if your project is using the Working Group

Context Menu

When right-clicking an Entity node in the contextmenu the user has a variety of additional options:

Export Entity Tree

since version 0.11

You may export the sub-tree of a selected entity into a collection of CSV files (one file per Entity Type). This can be used to move Entities to another project or also provide a good example when preparing a dataset for the data import.

If only a single entity-type is exported, a CSV file will be downloaded. If multiple CSV files are generated, you'll receive a ZIP archieve with one CSV file for every Entity Type.

Warning

The following Entity Types are not included in an export: Group Separator, SQL & Serial
