# 2025-11-07: CE - Custom Entities References

## Overview

This enhancement provides developers and system administrators with greater flexibility and control through the introduction of Custom Entity Management. Organizations can now define, extend, and interconnect entities to match unique business scenarios — such as for example contracts and products data - without relying on custom development. By enabling configurable entity definitions and relationships, the system becomes more adaptable, scalable, and aligned with complex enterprise requirements.

| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Entity reference**     | Establish clear reference between custom entities using reference types like CART, CATEGORY, CUSTOMER, CUSTOMER\_SEGMENTS, LEGAL\_ENTITY, MEDIA, ORDER, PRICE\_LIST, PRODUCT, and any CUSTOM\_ENTITY - such as one-to-one or one-to-many relationships. This ensures consistent data flow and accurate system behavior across modules. |
| **Document Attachments** | Attach supporting documents, like specifications or contracts, directly to custom entities. This centralizes information, improves traceability, and streamlines collaboration.                                                                                                                                                        |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://developer.emporix.io/release-notes/archive/2025/2025-11-07-ce-custom-entities.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
