Objects reference

Data objects are represented as design files where each object type is defined by specifying the _type property within its respective file. For detailed guidance on creating design files and defining objects, see Create design files.

All configuration options available for an object in the Application Builder are mirrored and accessible within the Semarchy extension for VS Code.

The table below lists the various objects that can be incorporated into an MDM project designed using the Semarchy extension for VS Code.
