7.1 Work with Data Entities

A Data Entity is a tabular representation of a data structure.

It includes Database Tables or Views that can be used in a mapping as a source or target. They are simply the metadata for sources and targets. They are used in creating data flows.

You can add Data Entities to your newly created project in one of the following two ways:

• Importing Data Entities
• Creating Data Entities

All the newly created or imported Data Entities along with their details are displayed in the Data Entities page. See View and Manage Data Entities.
