Managing Entities & Variables

Entity and Variable:

To maintain a structured and efficient system, entities such as funds, users, patients and applications are identified and represented using variables in camelCase format. A variable is a named storage space designed to hold specific information, called a value. For example, variables such as fundName, userEmail, patientId or applicationStatus can be used to store corresponding details about each entity. This approach ensures clarity, consistency and ease of data management throughout the system. Descriptive variable names improve readability and help streamline processes by clearly defining their purpose and content.

Take the entity 'Application' for example. This entity can have attributes such as 'applicationName', 'applicationID' and 'applicationType'. Each attribute provides specific details about the application, including its unique identifier, name and category. 

To add a new entity, follow these instructions:

1. First, go to the home screen and choose "Manage Data Variables" from the main menu on the left. 

 

2. Then, in the top-right corner of the screen, click on the "Add Entity" button. 

3. This action will bring up a small window where you can input the name of the new entity. Enter the name and click "Save." 

4. The entity will then be successfully added to the system. 

To add a variable to an existing entity, follow the revised steps:

1. On the home screen, select “Manage Data Variables” in the left sidebar. 

2. This action displays a list of all entities available in the system.

3. Select the entity you want to modify, which will display the variables it currently contains.

4. Select the "Add Variable" button.

5. Enter the required data for the new variable and confirm by clicking 'Save'.

6. The new variable is then successfully included in the selected entity.
