Path: metadata > app > entityManagerParams

Additional entity parameters. Defined parameters are available in the entity manager. Global, template type and entity type specific parameters can be defined.

Example:

{
    "Global": {
        "optimisticConcurrencyControl": {
            "location": "entityDefs",
            "fieldDefs": {
                "type": "bool",
                "tooltip": true
            }
        }
    },
    "MyEntityType": {
        "someParam": {
            "location": "scopes",
            "fieldDefs": {
                "type": "int",
                "tooltip": true
            }
        }
    },
    "@Event": {
        "someParam": {
            "location": "clientDefs",
            "fieldDefs": {
                "type": "varchar",
                "tooltip": true
            }
        }
    }
}

Global parameters are available for all entity types. @Event defines template specific parameters.

Field labels and tooltips should be defined in language data in the EntityManager scope.

location

string

A metadata location. Where the parameter will be stored. Supported values:

• scopes
• entityDefs
• clientDefs
• recordDefs (as of v8.0)

fieldDefs

Field definitions (same as entityDefs > fields). The defined field will be rendered on the entity manager edit view.

!!! note

Only field types that have one attribute are supported. Meaning that you can't use field type like *link*, *linkParent*, *linkMultiple*.
