Definitions
The Definitions page is a reference view of every object type in the ArchNGN metamodel and the fields that describe them. Use it to look up what each field means, which values are allowed, and which fields are required when creating objects.
What You Will Find
Section titled “What You Will Find”For each object type, Definitions lists:
- Field name: The attribute as it appears in the Registry
- Description: A short explanation of what the field captures
- Type: Text, enumeration, reference, date, or boolean
- Allowed values: For enumerated fields (e.g., Lifecycle Status), the complete list of options
- Required: Whether the field must be populated when creating the object
When to Use It
Section titled “When to Use It”- Creating objects manually: Confirm the meaning of a field or pick the correct value from an enumeration
- Designing imports: Check the expected field names and value sets before preparing a bulk import file
- Working with associations: Look up the supported association labels and interaction types
