When you create an entity, Data Archive assigns a unique name to the entity. The entity name contains two parts. The first part is the name of the driving table for that entity. The second part is a number. The number indicates the entity count at the time the entity was created.

For example, you have application modules A, B, and C in an application version. The application modules have the following entity history:

You create an entity in Module C so you can archive a group of tables. You select the table Supplies to include in the entity. You specify the Supplies table to be the driving table in the entity. Data Archive assigns the name Supplies_004 to the entity. The Supplies part of the entity name indicates the driving table in the entity. The 004 part of the entity name indicates that this is the fourth entity in the application version.
