Entities and Attributes

For ICM to work properly, you need to set up entity types and source entities before you use them.

 

You can:

• Link entities to source entities.

• Choose which entities are included in source entities.

• Manage the following types of entities:

• System-defined – Entities that already exist in ICM. You can only change the icon.

• User-defined – Entities your agency sets up. These are based on entities that already exist in ICM.

• Create entities that:

• Inherit details from existing entities. You can use some or all of the existing entity attributes and relationships. These entities can also have their own attributes and relationships.

• Are independent, only have a title and description, and have their own entity attributes and relationships.

  To manage entities, you need the Can maintain code tables permission.
