Collect Entity Instances

To allow users to add and remove entity instances in an interview, you use an entity collect control on a screen.

Tip: There are entity collect controls in the Healthy Eating, Know Your Customer and myBenefits example policy models that are installed with Policy Modeling.

For more information on creating entity collect screens, see:

• Define a Screen for Collecting Entity Instances
• Specify the Default Number of Blank Entity Instances
• Change the Orientation and Appearance of the Entity Collect
• Change the Button Text for Adding and Removing Entity Instances
• Remove the Buttons for Adding and Removing Entity Instances

Note: Inferred entities are not collected on a screen (rules are used to create the necessary entity instances).

After you have added the entity collect to the screen, you then need to add at least one entity-level attribute to the entity collect to allow the user to enter data. For more information, see Add an Entity-Level Attribute to an Entity Collect.
