The business concepts in OutSystems applications are modeled as what type of objects?

In OutSystems applications, business concepts are modeled as entities. Entities represent the core business objects or concepts that the application interacts with, such as Customers, Orders, or Products. Each entity encapsulates the attributes and behaviors of a business concept, allowing developers to define the data structure and relationships essential for the application's functionality.

By modeling business concepts as entities, OutSystems allows for a high level of abstraction, making it easier to manage and manipulate data throughout the application lifecycle. Developers can create, read, update, and delete instances of these entities, and leverage them in business logic, user interfaces, and data interactions.

This approach not only aligns with object-oriented design principles but also facilitates the creation of entity diagrams and relationships within the development environment, which further enhances the application’s data structure. However, while entity diagrams and entity relationships provide important visual representation and connectivity amongst entities, it is the entities themselves that serve as the primary construct for modeling business concepts in the OutSystems platform.
