Enums
Enums are defined lists of values used as field types. They live under Data Model → Enums.
An enum has:
- Enum Name and Enum ID
- Application Module
- Enum Values - a list of name/value pairs, e.g. LinkedIn/linkedin, Indeed/indeed, Glassdoor/glassdoor
The display name is what users see; the stored value is what is saved in the database. Values can be reordered by dragging.
Enums are simpler than entities - they have no fields or components, just a fixed list of options. Use them for fields where the valid values are known in advance and rarely change: status values, categories, source types, and so on.
Once defined, an enum appears as an available target type in the Field Type dropdown when adding a Reference field - not a Value field. It can also be wrapped in a Field Type for additional configuration.
