Record Tree

Introduction

For DigiHaven we have introduced a record tree with metadata inheritance, where metadata is inherited from the top of the tree to the children below. Over time our MediaHaven application has adopted the record tree and as of version 24.1, it will have fully completed the transition by switching to the Data Objects for new customers.

Overview

Record Trees provides a high-level description of the different trees used in our applications. The organisation of records into record trees is achieved by defining properties on theirRecord Types. In Record Tree Glossary we provide an overview of several technical terms used to describe the record trees.

Metadata

The organisation of records into record trees is visible in their metadata through the Structural Metadata. Metadata can flow through the record tree from top to bottom using Metadata Inheritance.
