Company meta type
The predefined enumeration Company meta type (CompanyMetaType) classifies Companies/Clients via the 'Meta type' (metaType) field.
The list can be customised.
A specific type 'Company meta type (configuration)' (CompanyMetaTypeConfiguration) with the 'Icon URI' (iconUri) field is available for the configuration of enumeration values.
The following values and localisations are predefined by default:

Runtime example:
|
In an input form for Companies/Clients, the image specified as ‘Icon URI’ appears in the dropdown for the Combobox element for the ‘Metatype’ (metaType) field. ►NOTE◄ The Company meta type can be used to classify company accounts at a 'high-level' in order to facilitate systematic orientation (e.g. through filters in overviews or Row formatting in datagrids) and automation (e.g. via Association criteria or as a filter in a Search) within a company hierarchy that may be quite complex. However, classification only has a direct functional impact if appropriate precautions are taken in a targeted manner. If required, a more detailed characterisation and control is made possible by the Company type, for which Companies/Clients offer a multiple selection that can be conveniently evaluated using a Company rule, for example. In contrast, the Company meta type ensures a clear assignment to exactly one of the selection options offered. |
