Compatible Entities

The compatible entity tables store records that can be linked automatically from product pages.

Tables Covered

• Cable
• Terminal Boards
• Documentation

Important Columns

Column	What it means
name column	Clear editor-facing record name, for example Cable name, Terminal Board name, or documentation name.
Key column	Stable key such as Cable Key, Terminal Board Key, or Documentation Key.
Page Slug	URL path used as the target link.
Common Specs	Links the entity to compatible Common Specs records.

How These Tables Work Together

• Fill in Page Slug for every compatible entity record.
• Keep keys stable and easy to read.
• Use clear names so editors can tell records apart.
• Link each compatible entity to the correct Common Specs record.
• Automatic links depend on those Common Specs relationships.

Common Mistakes

• missing Page Slug
• entity not linked to Common Specs
• wrong Entity Type in Placeholder Definitions
• duplicate or unclear keys
• linking to the wrong Common Specs record

note

If multiple compatible entities exist, the system may select the first matching one using deterministic rules. Editors should therefore keep Common Specs links clean and unambiguous.
