assignment

[Model] [Contact] [Enterprise]

assignment

The assignment entity represents a formal relationship between objects; unlike an [objectLink] which represents an information relationship between objects. The associated [Contact]s of a [Project] are one example of a formal assignment relationship, another would the be association of a [Contact] with an [Enterprise].

IMPORTANT: The assignment is one of the two entity types that can under go transformation; specific conditions can transform an assignment into an acl. Read Understanding Entities for specific information.

Omphalos

Notice that the Omphalos representation of an assignment is rotated depending upon the first-class entity under which is it being represented. In this way they are unlike [objectLinks] entities which retain their direction. The "targetObjectId" is the opposite end of the assignment from the local entity being represented, which is the source object of the assignment.
