Data Storage

The data storage is an application-level mechanism of the platform that allows for the storage of arbitrary information within an application.

In one way or another, most application configuration objects are involved in the operation of this mechanism. Depending on the task, information can be stored in the database or directly within the configuration itself.

For example, images can be stored in Picture objects or as Catalog attributes.

Template objects allow the storage of diverse data types within the configuration, including HTML documents, binary data, spreadsheets, and text documents.

Constant objects are used for single values that rarely change.

Enumeration objects store fixed sets of values defined during configuration.

Object-based information is stored in Catalog objects. If the information is time-stamped and reflects business events, Document objects are used.

Information Register objects allow for the storage of non-object data detailed across multiple dimensions.
