Key concepts
Schema
A Schema is a self-contained data model. Each schema has its own Object Types, Attributes, and Relations. Schemas are space-scoped — they belong to one Space and are accessible to that Space’s members.Object Type
An Object Type defines a category of record — like a database table. Example Object Types:Customer, Server, Contract, Product.
Attribute
An Attribute is a field on an Object Type. Supported attribute types:| Type | Description |
|---|---|
text | Single-line or multi-line text |
number | Integer or decimal |
date | Date picker |
boolean | True/false toggle |
select | Single or multi-select from a defined list |
relation | Link to an object in another Object Type |
url | Validated URL |
email | Validated email address |
Object
An Object is a record — a single instance of an Object Type. Like a database row.Relation
A Relation defines a typed connection between two Object Types. Example:Customer has many Contracts. Relations are navigable from both sides.
