Where do I start?

As a builder, you build templates for your team to fill out.

On the navigation side bar, ensure that you are in .

Seal Types

Everything in Seal is a Type. Types are self contained blobs of JSON data that conform to our schema. The different Types in Seal enables a wide range of templates to be built.

Types in Seal:

• Charts

• Documents

• File

• Record

• Row

• Script

• Workflow

• Custom

All types can have associated metadata fields, with each type potentially differing in page content and following a unique lifecycle.

See table below for different Type configurations.

Types	Content Type	Life Cycle*	Create From
Charts	Data	Continuous	Type
Documents	Page Content	Continuous	TypeTemplate
File	File	Continuous	Type
Record	Page Content	Completable	Template
Row	Data	Continuous	TypeTemplate
Script	Data	Continuous	Type
Workflow	Page Content	Completable	Template

*What defines the Lifecycle of a Type?

All Types have a top level status field. There are two types of entity lifecycle that define the possible status values - continuous and completable. Different Types may follow distinct lifecycles based on their purpose and workflow.

Completable

Completable lifecycles represent a discrete piece of work carried out at a specific time, and therefore are usually not modified once they've been finished. If mistakes are identified, you can make a new revision of the completable entity. The stages are:

Active → Done → In Revision → Revised Continuous

Continuous lifecycles are designed to be reused and improved over time. Continuous entities have numbered versions - the version number increases every time you publish a new version. The stages are:

Version 1 → Draft → In review → Version 2

View all Types within your Platform in the settings modal, under the 'Types' tab.
