Glossary:Visible Key
- Visible Key, visible key
- The visible key of an instance is the text value of a reserved property, @baseclass.pxInsName. This property is defined in the ultimate base class and is available for use in every class. The value of this property is sometimes called the instance name, or informally, "insname."

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.
An entity that models data in your business processes and defines what information you need to provide to reach your business goal. For example, in a process of hiring new employees, you can create properties that correspond to the personal details of a candidate, such as a name, a surname, and an address. Then, when you review applications from different candidates, you provide values specific to each candidate. To save time and make your application more relevant to customers, you can reference properties in different elements of your application, and then populate them with data at run time. For example, you can include a property that references a customer name in an email that your application sends automatically. As a result, each time that the email message is personalized and includes an actual customer name. Properties help you collect and provide consistent data irrespectively of the method in which users interact with your application. By referencing properties, you ensure that a user receives the same information through a website, an email, or a mobile app.
The topmost class in the class hierarchy, identified by the symbol @baseclass. All other classes are derived from this class. This class is similar to the root class in Java. The abstract classes Assign-, Rule-, Work-, and others that are direct subclasses of the ultimate base class are known as base classes.
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.
