Create Entity

1. Form Definition in the User Interface

• A form is prepared for the entity information to be obtained from the user.
  
  • Entity Name (Text Input)
  • Description (Optional - Text Input)
  • Category Selection (Select Box or Text Input - Guid)

2. Action Definition

• A button named ‘Create Entity’ is created.

• The following action is added to the button:
  
  • + ADD ACTION > OnClick > EAV > Entity > Create Entity

• The parameters are configured as follows:

• Name: Symbol Picker > Form Component > Text Input
• Description: Symbol Picker > Form Component (optional)
• CategoryId: Symbol Picker > Fixed or Component

3. Using the Action Result

• The created entity can be associated with attribute definitions in the form.
• A notification can be displayed to the user after the action or the user can be redirected to another page.

In an HR application, you want to create custom forms for each application type. Each form has its own entity:

1. The user fills out the ‘Create New Application Type’ form.
2. When the “Save” button is clicked, the Create Entity action runs.
3. The system defines new entities such as ‘job application’ and ‘internship application’.
4. Attributes (e.g., ‘graduation year’, ‘number of references’) are then added to these entities.

• Conditional Creation: Duplicate records can be prevented by checking whether an entity with the same name already exists (If, Get Entities, Filter, etc.).
• Automatic Assignment by Category: The CategoryId parameter can be automatically determined based on the screen.
• Save Result: The ID information of the created entity can be used in another action (via Action Result).

The Create Entity action enables entities, which are the building blocks of Kuika's EAV infrastructure, to be dynamically defined in the system. This makes it possible to create user-specific data structures, customisable forms, and advanced data organisation.
