Create entity type attributes
Learn about creating and editing simple, nested, and reference entity type attributes.
Now that you know about entity types and attributes, let's learn how to create and edit entity type attributes. The Data Modeler lists entity types and attributes that are available for that tenant.
When you select an Entity type, you can view more of its information in these horizontal tabs:
- ATTRIBUTES
- CLEANSE
- MATCH
- SURVIVORSHIP
- RELATIONSHIP TYPES
- VALIDATION FUNCTIONS
- ROLES
Select an Entity type to view the ATTRIBUTES tab. Select EDIT and CREATE NEW to create these attribute types:
- Simple - For more information, see topic Create a simple attribute.
- Nested - For more information, see topic Create a nested attribute.
- Reference - For more information, see topic Create a reference attribute.

Select an Entity type to view its Attributes. Select EDIT to create and edit Simple, Nested, and Reference attributes for the selected Entity type.
Once you select EDIT, you can make multiple changes.
