Creating iBase entities

iBase entities store their important information in records. To create entities that contain records, create your entities using the Data Source Pane.

About this task

In a chart, the first time that you connect to an iBase database, a new palette is created that contains all of the types in your database. You can use the pallette to select an entity type to create. Alternatively, you can create entities using the New Entity option on the task pane.

When you create an iBase entity, that item contains an iBase record. You can enter values for some or all of the record properties, and you must enter values for mandatory properties.
