Entities screen

The

 screen is a central administration of entities across all ONESOURCE applications.
All primary ONESOURCE applications use an entity framework, critical for their core functionality. Entities play an important role, and each application uses entities in different ways. Centrally manage and utilize entities through the central administration of Entities.

    1. Associated:
       Completed fields for an application, and the Entity enters a ready state can't be un-associated or deleted.
    2. Not Associated:
       Application hasn’t been selected to be connected to an Entity yet.

    1. Entities with the same entity code. If so, you can't use this entity code and the system asks you to change the code.
    2. Entities with the same attributes already created. If it does find an entity with the same criteria, the system asks you to either select an entity from the list or create a new entity.

    Attributes by Category
     tab to review the attributes applied to this entity.
  12. Select the
