The data layer of an eSpace is where you manage and organize data; in Service Studio you can use data elements without knowing implementation details.

The element types in a data layer are:

• Entity: Used when you want to keep structured information (data records) in a persistent repository. This information is stored in entity attributes. See Manage entities.

• Structure: Used when you want to manipulate data but in a temporary way; i.e. you do not need to keep it in a repository, just in memory. This information is handled by structure attributes. See Manage structures.
