Entity Designer

The Entity Designer serves as an intuitive companion, automatically structuring and presenting the best visualization of entity models to chatbot authors, facilitating a deeper comprehension of the solution.

The DRUID Entity Designer consolidates as an all-in-one graphical tool, offering the following key advantages to bot authors:

• Enhanced understanding of entity models provided with solution templates.
• Streamlined creation of new entity models through visual representation.
• Increased productivity by seamlessly integrating Entity Designer with Flow Designer or integration editor.

The Entity Designer empowers bot authors with a comprehensive toolkit for managing and visualizing entity models, optimizing the chatbot development process. It organizes all bot entities used for collecting user information, retrieving data, and transmitting data to other systems, categorized for ease of access. These entities are available at the tenant global level, ensuring versatility across various bots. An entity may reference another entity, either a simple entity or a collection entity, fostering interconnectedness within the bot's informational model.

Accessing Entity Designer

To access the Entity Designer, select the bot and solution, then navigate to the main menu and click on Entities. The Entity Designer interface appears, contextualized within the selected solution and bot. If no entities are defined for the selected bot, the Entities Designer list is empty.
