Reference entities: shared records such as brands, listed with their record counts.
Reference entities hold the records many products share — a brand, a cutting material — so the fact is maintained once instead of being retyped into every product.
Where you find it
Commerce Studio › PIM › References — /commerce/reference-entities
What it does
The list shows each reference entity with its record count. KPI cards sum the entities and the records. A New entity action and a column picker sit in the toolbar, next to a code search, a market selector and saved views.
The rows are not clickable yet: opening, editing or managing the records of a
reference entity is not available in the Cockpit at the moment. Reference
entities and their records are maintained through the products app's API.
Fields and controls
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Reference entity | Name and code. |
| Code | The stable identifier. |
| Records | How many records the entity holds. |
| Markets | Market assignment. |
| Updated | Last change. |
What happens when you change it
The list itself changes nothing. New entity creates a reference entity; its records are then filled over the API.
Permissions
The products app declares create, read, update and delete on reference entities and their records in its manifest. Which Cockpit roles may open this screen is not verified.
