Understanding the ExpoPlatform Data Environment
This section explains how ExpoPlatform structures data and the rules that apply to every integration — whether you're using the Open API, a native connector, or extracting data for a warehouse.
Read this section before starting any integration work. The concepts here — especially global vs local field scope and cascade behaviour — are the most common source of unexpected results during implementation.
