Understanding Entity Metadata Generation

During the Aptify web site installation, Aptify generates the necessary metadata for entities, form templates, views and dashboard used by the Aptify site. To facilitate this process, Aptify includes several process flows to generate this metadata. Typically, these process flows are triggered automatically when changes are made. For example, when a view is created, or new entity is created. The process flows can also be run manually (or tied to a scheduled tasks or event handler) as needed.

Entity metadata generation is discussed in the following topics:
