Objects
How objects work in Galaxy
- 1.
Objects — your business in data.
An object is a modeled entity like Customer or Order. You map the raw columns from one or more sources to a clean set of fields, and everyone queries the object instead of the underlying tables.
- 2.
The catalog — one shared definition.
Every object lives in a searchable catalog with its fields, types, and descriptions, so your team and your agents work from the same understanding of what each thing means.
- 3.
The modeler — relationships, visually.
Connect objects to each other — an Order belongs to a Customer, a Ticket has an owner — in the modeler. Those relationships power joins, lineage, and graph traversal without anyone writing SQL.
- 4.
Resolution — one record per real thing.
When the same customer shows up in your CRM, your billing system, and your support desk — sometimes under a brand name, sometimes a legal entity — resolution merges them into a single canonical object, keeping the evidence behind every match.
