Admins create an entity type for critical applications but never run generation or refresh. No entities appear. What misconception does this expose?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
An entity type is the recipe card; generation is actually baking the cookies. Defining the type without running generate/refresh leaves the jar empty. Types explain how to find records—someone still has to run the job that creates the entities.
Full Explanation
An entity type stores the table and conditions used to identify candidate records. Entity records are produced when generation or refresh processes execute against that definition. Teams that stop after saving the type often misdiagnose empty lists as platform failure. Operationalize type design with scheduled or on-demand generation so scoped populations materialize and stay current.
