You can include all information or selected information from an entity in a form by accessing all attributes or individual attributes.

To access the complete entity instance, do one of the following:

• Build a form based on a map that uses entities. The Entity Instance controls are automatically added to the form. See Automatically generate forms.

  Note See Use entities in a map for more information on using entities in a map.

• Create a blank form and add an Entity Instance control to the form. See Add an entity instance control.

To access and update the individual attributes of an entity instance, configure the following entity actions in a form:

• Get Attributes: Adds the attribute values of an entity instance to the controls on the form. See Add a get entity attributes action.

• Set Attributes: Updates the attribute values of an entity instance. See Add a set entity attributes action.

Alternatively, use the Get Attributes and Set Attributes APIs to get or set the values for each attribute of an entity instance.
