Data Instance, data instance

A data instance is an instance of a concrete data class, a concrete class derived from the Data- base class. For example, a work queue is an instance of the Data-Admin-WorkBasket class.

A durable, potentially permanent, saved representation of a concrete class that is stored in the database. An instance corresponds to a row in the relational database, or to a record. An instance consists of properties and values, and some of these property values form a unique key to the instance.

The rules that define the behavior of your application. You can create classes to gather rules related to a specific object in your application. For example, in a recruitment application, you can create a class that contains rules that define the flow of the recruitment process. Classes can contain other classes, hence a class that contains another class is called a parent class, while a class that is contained by another class is called a child class. A child class can reuse, or inherit, any of the rules that are defined for its parent class, which helps to build your application faster and more efficiently.

A class that is displayed anywhere below the top level of the class hierarchy, often near or at the bottom of the list. There are several types of concrete classes: internal classes, external classes, rule types, and work types.

A standard abstract class that is immediately below the top class in the hierarchy. This top class, known as the ultimate base class, is identified by the symbol @baseclass.

A list of open assignments for a group of users. Assignments stay in the work queue until a user assigned to the work queue selects an assignment, or a manager sends an assignment in the work queue to a specific user. By associating many users with a single work queue, you ensure that even if individual workers are busy with other tasks, the work is processed efficiently.

To view the work queues in your application, in Dev Studio, open the Case Management > Work Management > Work queues landing page.
