Reltio IDE overview

Create configuration objects in Reltio IDE

Learn how to create configuration objects in Reltio IDE by adding them manually or through natural language prompts with AI-assisted authoring.

Reltio IDE supports two ways to create configuration objects such as entity types, relation types, and others:

  • Add an object using the context menu, then complete its definition in the configuration file.
  • Describe the object you want using natural language in your editor's AI assistant and have it generate the object for you.

AI-assisted authoring also creates supporting resources intelligently, such as the relation type required for a reference attribute.

To add an object through the context menu
  1. Right-click your tenant in the RELTIO IDE view, then select the object you want to create, such as .
    • Add a new Entity Type
    • Add a new Relation Type
    • Add a new Grouping Type
    • Add a new Graph Type
    • Add a new Source
    • Add a new Hierarchy Type
  2. Locate the new object in the configuration file. Reltio IDE adds the object with the required elements.
  3. Edit the object in the editor to complete its definition.
  4. Save the changes. Reltio IDE validates your changes and highlights any errors in the editor so you can fix them before you apply your configuration.
To create an object with AI-assisted authoring
  1. Open the AI assistant in your editor: Cursor or VS Code.
  2. Describe the object you want to create. For example, Create an Employee entity type with the relevant attributes and a reference attribute to Organization.
  3. Review the configuration that Reltio IDE generates. In this example, Reltio IDE creates the Employee entity type, adds relevant attributes, adds the reference attribute to the Organization entity type, and creates the required relation type that connects Employee to Organization.
    When a reference attribute requires a relation type, Reltio IDE creates the relation type automatically, so you do not have to create it as a separate step.
  4. Review and manually edit the generated object to complete any remaining details, then save the configuration.

Result

Your new configuration objects appear in the RELTIO IDE view under their object type, and their definitions are added to the configuration. You are ready to review your changes and apply them to your tenant.

Validation

To confirm the objects were created:

  1. Expand your tenant in the RELTIO IDE view and confirm that the new objects appear under their object type.
  2. Confirm that the configuration shows no validation errors for the new objects.
  3. For a reference attribute created with AI-assisted authoring, confirm that the supporting relation type appears under Relation Types.
