For any given concept a concept instance is its data. You can think of concept instances as examples of the concept. i.e. given a concept of Country, the instances could be France or Germany.
Only concepts with a string data type allow you to create your own instances.
Concepts with a data type of number, date or true/false do not require instances to be explicitly created
Number types - instances are any numerical value
Date types - instances are any valid date
True/false types - instances are true or false
Opening a concept with a string data type will display an instances section and you can add instances like this:
Concept instance names must be:
Unique
2,000 characters or less
Not contain quotation marks "
Additional information about a concept instance can be added as metadata, if it is necessary to provide further context about it e.g. providing an explanation of a particular tax code.
This data can be presented to end-users, if required, when the instance is referenced in a question or a result from Rainbird.
The image below shows an example of Metadata added to a concept instance. This input can be expanded for large metadata:
The below image shows an example of how the Metadata could be presented with a result:
This data can also be formatted using markdown. More details can be found on supported markdown here.
