Each Hornbill application is delivered with access to its database schema and entity relationships. This is useful when trying to understand where to identify tables, table columns, primary keys, and suitable fields for making your table joins. This functionality is intended to make your quest for information that little bit easier when constructing important analytics and management reports.

Accessing the Entity Explorer in Configuration is only open to users who are assigned the Advanced Reporting Admin role and a secondary role that has the Execute Stored Queries and Update Records system rights. Apart from high security roles, the latter can be a default role (which has these system rights) or custom created role.
