How to Generate Reports › Entity Definition Report › Entity Type › Entity Subtypes

Entity Subtypes

The Entity Definition Report provides information about an entity subtype.

The changed objects selected can be saved in an aggregate set.

The report headings for entity subtypes are the same as those for entity types with the addition of two fields:

• SUBTYPE OF-Contains the parent of the entity subtype.
• INHERITED ATTRIBUTES-Attributes shared with the parent entity type.

The INHERITED ATTRIBUTES field lists attributes derived from entity types higher in the hierarchy. For example, the inherited attributes of a subtype can be the attributes of the parent entity type.

If the parent is also an entity subtype, the source of the inherited attributes might be above the parent. In fact, the source may be the parent's parent. Inherited attributes are grouped by source under the Inherited Attributes heading, beginning with the highest-level source.
