Custom Entity Levels are used to be mapped to the database attributes that control writing of the entity values in the database side. Entity levels are based on the hierarchy levels defined in the Custom entities list above the Custom entity mappings. Each different level of the hierarchy in the Custom entities list is considered as one Entity level to link with one Target Attribute in your CustomTools database.
| Entity Level | Represents the hierarchical level of the Custom entity. The entity levels are represented as numbers starting from one (1). As bigger the number is in the Entity Level column, as deeper the specific entity is located at in the entities hierarchy. |
| Target Attribute | Determines the database attribute the Custom entity value is associated with in your CustomTools database. |
