The entities describe the core objects of open bi. They can be created, displayed, modified and deleted via the APIs, as well as via the desktop and web configurators.
This documentation explains the purpose of each entity and the standard fields available.
But the extensibility of the entities is also part of the philosophy of open bi. Using table attributes, project-specific attributes can be added easily. For this, visit the "Modelling" category of the open bi Blog.
The user entity controls, who is allowed to login to open bi using the open bi Configurators, the CMS orthe API.

open bi generates a database table for the entity, which can then be filled manually or via a data upload.
