Objects

An object is a representation of a distinct entity or item belonging to a specific Type — this could be a contract, a laptop, a subscription, a car, a license, a piece of equipment, an employee, a role, or virtually any other entity your organisation tracks.

Each object carries a set of attribute values that describe it in detail. As a simplified analogy, an object is like a row in a database table, where the type's attributes are the columns.

Objects can reference other objects through an attribute of type Reference. Once a reference is set up between two objects, a searchable relationship is established, and that relationship can be traversed to unlimited depth in search.

Mockup, not a screenshot — confirmed against pages/NewObjectDetails (header + AttributeList) and AttributeValue/ReferenceValue.tsx. The label attribute's own name (here "Name") shows in small text above the title, with the avatar top-right; attributes render as a flat two-column table below. A Reference value (like "Assigned to" here) renders as a chip with a small avatar/icon and the referenced object's label — not a plain colored pill.
