Is there any way to download all the entities and their attributes (not the table data) from an outsystems application in a convienent format like json/excel , i have more than 50 entities in my application and would like to see at a glance which entity has which attributes?
Hi,
You can use the metadata entities available in the system module or use the OutSystems Forge component Outdoc.

how do i access the metadata entities in system module and how do i download them? i can only view the entities and attributes in the system module
Hello,You need to add the dependencies from the Systems ModuleAnd to download you can just get the data and download the data using Record to excel by creating a logic.I am attaching an OML for the reference hope it might help

I can't add the server action because i can't publish it in the current environment i am in without affecting others working on it. Is there any other work around ?
If you want to export the data, this the only way you can do that.
If you want to just view the data then add the entity and apply your desired filters to preview data into aggregate, But here if you want to Export the data you need to add your logic and export.
Thanks
the format of the data is not desirable at all. i don't want the physical table names and everything. Just simply the entity name and the attributes which are present in it
Hi ,
you can just modify the oml and on the record list to excel just select the Entity name, not all the attributes it will only return you names, I have showed you just an example, so that you may have an idea to get the details of the entity names, you can further modify it according to your desired output .
In addition to the above mentions you may find OutDoc helpful which generates a report (not that beautiful *sigh*) for your applications. Available on the Forge https://www.outsystems.com/forge/component-overview/159/outdoc
thanks for outdoc though, it is not opening in my dev environment
I suggest taking a look at this forge component, Hubway connect. This application has many features including viewing and managing API's and generating reports and dashboards . Hope this helps.

Elizer please don't advertise products here. Some of us are learners and can't afford such things. Thanks
Hi Satvik,
I don't think there's something wrong with advertising something that's part of the OutSystems ecosystem. Even learners may be part of a company that can afford to buy a licence, and the component has a 30-days free trial. The only thing I would've liked to be seen is an indication that it is a paid component.
