Entity Information Action

The Data Tools add-on provides a UI action that displays a system information about a selected entity. It includes the entity name, Java class, database table, identifier, and values of system attributes that constitute the entity traits.

To add the action to a table or data grid using Studio, open the component palette, drag and drop Facets → Action to the component, and select showEntityInfo in the Add Action dialog. The action will be added to the table, for example:

<groupTable id="ordersTable" width="100%" dataContainer="ordersDc">
    <actions>
        <!-- ... -->
        <action id="showEntityInfo" type="showEntityInfo"/>

After adding the action to a table or data grid, you can find it in the component’s context menu as Entity information item.

To be able to use the action, a user must have the datatools-entity-info resource role provided by the add-on.
