System Entity Fields

This section provides description of Druid system entity fields that are automatically filled in on entity / entity field creation and edit. These fields are used in Druid Data Service integrations and Workspaces. For entities created in Druid versions prior to 5.4, these fields appear after you upgrade the entity.

Druid System Field

Field Type

Description

Id

String

An unique identifier of the entity / entity record. If you want to receive the Id value of type Integer or GUID, create another field to store the Id value.

The Id of the user who created the entity / entity field.

The Date and time when the entity record was created.

ModifiedByUserId

GUID

The Id of the user who last modified the entity record.

ModifiedOn

DateTime

The Date and time when the entity /entity record was last modified.
Name String

An entity / entity record has an unique Id and a Name.

For example, a record of entity [[Employee]] has:

  • Id - 3343JS is the employee's Id.
  • Name - John Smith, is the employee's name.

OperatedByBotId

String

The Id of the last bot that operated the entity record.
PageInto Entity

This field references the system entity [[PageInfo]] that stores client-side page information from web views. For more information, see System Entities, entity [[Page.Info]].

For backwards compatibility, you can upgrade entities created in Druid version prior 5.4 by following these steps:

  1. Navigate to the desired entity and select the Fields tab. A notification appears at the top of the page.
  2. Click on the Upgrade button displayed within the notification.

    3. A pop-up appears, listing all new system entity fields relevant to the current entity.

    IMPORTANT! It's crucial to note that this upgrade process is irreversible. Therefore, before proceeding with the upgrade, we strongly recommend reviewing the new system entity field types and assessing your existing configurations to ensure they are not adversely affected by these changes.
    NOTE: The upgrade is mandatory if you intend to utilize this entity with Druid Data Service and Workspaces. Failure to upgrade the entity may result in errors when attempting to add a Druid Data Service Integration task to the entity if Druid Data Service is active on your bot.

  3. Once you have reviewed the implications and are ready to proceed, click the Upgrade button to complete the process.
