How are custom properties stored within the Admin Console?

Application Dictionary

Manages data like field names, labels, languages, lengths, and site security
Uses generic tables run from standard Odata
Cannot currently display custom properties in Admin Console tables

Entities

Outlines of objects in the Admin Console with assigned custom properties
Hard coded in Configured Commerce, requiring custom coding to create
Examples: Customer, Order, Product

Custom Properties

Attributes attached to entities, allowing creation without development
Visible on the UI when an entity is displayed
Default to hidden and not accessible to the API unless specifically allowed
Permissions must be set for both editing and viewing

Control Types

UI elements displayed in the Admin Console, depending on the data type
Common types include dropdowns, toggle switches, and text fields

Data Validators

Validate data in Control Types
Common properties include Regular Expressions, MultiValueLists, and DefaultValues

Permissions

Managed within Application Dictionary
Secured at the entity or custom property level
Can be handled at the role level

Notes

Custom properties are stored in the Custom Properties table within the Admin Console
They are not extendable to other platforms (like ERPs) without development effort
