Entities

In a data model, entities describe an object, such as a person or an item, by grouping a set of related fields. Accounts, Products, and Transactions are examples of potential entities in a data model. The connections between entities in a data model are called relationships. Relationships between entities can be one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many. In this module, you learn how the Common Data Model defines primary entities and associated fields that you can use to build your application.
