What is Steedos Metadata?

Metadata is core to the steedos infrastructure. Metadata relates to the objects, fields, configurations, code, logic, and page layouts that go into building the information architecture and look and feel of your steedos apps.

There are several types of Metadata, with each one representing a unique way a business function can be customized. Here are a few broad categories for Metadata types:

  • Data: the core components of the data structure on which most customization is built. E.g. Custom Objects, Fields, and Custom Apps.
  • Programmability: custom code developed on top of the platform. E.g. Buttons, Form Events, Triggers.
  • Presentation: customization on how users interact with the platform. E.g. Components, List View and Page Layouts.

Why Metadata?

Hard-coded applications are a thing of the past; customization is the flair of the season.

You need flexible applications that can be tailor-made as per your business needs without the need for high-level programming skills. That is why Steedos Metadata is so powerful. Metadata is what transforms Steedos from a simple database into an entire platform.

Steedos Metadata Types

  • Custom Objects: Create custom objects to store information that’s unique to your organization. Choose whether your custom objects are searchable, support sharing, or include access to the Bulk API and Streaming API.

  • Formula: A formula is an algorithm that derives its value from other fields, expressions, or values. Formulas can help you automatically calculate the value of a field based on other fields.

  • Validation Rules: Improve the quality of your data using validation rules. Validation rules verify that the data a user enters in a record meets the standards you specify before the user can save the record.

  • Workflow Rules: Workflow lets you automate standard internal procedures and processes to save time across your org. A workflow rule is the main container for a set of workflow instructions. These instructions can always be summed up in an if/then statement.

  • Automated Actions: An automated action is a reusable component that performs some sort of action behind the scenes—like updating a field or sending an email. Once you create an automated action, add it to a process, milestone, or other automated process.

  • Approval Process: Different from process automation in the form of workflow rules. Approvals take automation one step further, letting you specify a sequence of steps that are required to approve a record.

  • Report & Dashboard: Steedos offers a powerful suite of reporting tools that work together to help you understand and act on your data.
