In Codolex, entities are representations of data. This can be data from a database, but also from REST services or other sources. When importing a table structure from a database, entities will be created automatically, just like when importing a REST service. But it is also possible to create entities manually. To do this, right-click a data source, and click Add Entity or Add View Entity:
The difference between a normal entity and a view entity is the ability to modify: a view entity (like a view from a database) is readonly, and can consist of several other entities.
