Model objects and links
Give operational records stable identities, typed properties, and meaningful relationships.
What the model contains
An object type describes a kind of thing your team works with. A property describes a value on that thing. A link type describes a relationship between two object types. Factivum uses these definitions to present records consistently across search, views, and actions.
A matching label does not prove two source rows identify the same real-world object. Review the key and source mapping before merging records or allowing an action to write through the model.
Build in a workspace
- Open Object Model and select an existing type before creating another one.
- Define the stable identifier and the properties operators need to recognize a record.
- Add links only when the relationship can be supported by source data or an explicit rule.
- Inspect example objects in Object Explorer. Correct a mapping before exposing it as an operational result.
Govern changes
- Model edits may affect search, applications, and actions that depend on a type. Inspect usage before changing a shared definition.
- Your workspace role determines whether you can edit definitions. Read access to objects does not imply permission to change the model.
