Objects are the fundamental building blocks of your ontology. They represent the real things in your business — customers, orders, products, employees, transactions, campaigns.

What an object represents

An object maps to one or more tables in your data sources. It defines what a “thing” is in your business and how it’s stored. For example:
ObjectMaps toDescription
Customeraccounts tableA business or individual you sell to
Orderorders tableA completed purchase
Productproducts tableSomething you sell

Why objects matter

When someone asks “How many customers do we have?”, the agent needs to know what “customer” means in your data. The object definition tells it exactly which table to query and what filters to apply. Objects are the anchor point for everything else in the ontology — dimensions describe them, entities identify them, and metrics measure them.
