What are the values in a Static Entity called?

In OutSystems, a Static Entity is used to define a set of constant values that are not expected to change during the application's runtime. The values stored within a Static Entity are referred to as "Records." Each Record represents a unique entry in the Static Entity, allowing developers to manage a fixed list of items that can be referenced across the application.

Records in Static Entities are particularly useful for scenarios like enumerations (e.g., status values), configuration settings, or any other scenario where a consistent set of predefined values is required. Since these Records are not tied to any dynamic database table or variable instance, they provide a quick and efficient way to use static data across the application.

By recognizing that each Record can have associated Attributes, which hold specific data about those entities, and that these attributes might be seen as Fields within a more general context, it becomes clear how the terms relate. However, in the core structure and functionality of a Static Entity, it is the Records that are pivotal.
