Entity Field Format in the Field Dictionary Template

When working with the Field Dictionary in DvSum—either downloading or importing—you may notice that the Entity field contains dot-separated text. This format provides the full path of the entity, including its associated domain and subdomain.

Entity Field Format

The Entity field uses the following structure:

<DataDomain>.<SubDomain>.<EntityName>

Example

Default.Default.US_PASSPORT

This structure ensures clarity when identifying entities that may exist under different domains or subdomains.

Field Dictionary Download

When downloading the Field Dictionary:

• The Entity column will display the full hierarchy as described above.

• The Data Domain column reflects the domain assigned to the column itself, which may be different from the domain shown in the Entity field.

Field Dictionary Import

When importing the Field Dictionary:

• The Entity field must follow the format:
  <DataDomain>.<SubDomain>.<EntityName>

• This format is also reflected in the sample file that can be downloaded from the import screen. Use it as a reference when preparing your import.

• Ensure any edits made to the Entity field maintain the correct format to avoid errors during import.
