You can sometimes build a useful tracking application by just using the [[Level 1 Entity]]. But when you need to track “transactions” of some kind associated with the Level 1 item, you will then need to create a two level UTA.
* When you examine the [[Built-in Field|built-in fields]] for the Level 2 (and Level 3) [[Entity|entities]] you will see they closely resemble activity type transactions with fields such as start date, end date, start time, end time, etc. And generally a lot of the Level 2 transaction types do have these types of activity based characteristics.
* Sometimes the Level 2 transaction will not require any activity type fields. In that situation simply don’t use any of the built-in fields that related to activities and use [[Custom Field|custom fields]] for the rest of the [[Entity|entity]].
==Steps to Activate Level 2 items==
The steps to activate the [[Level 2 Entity]] are similar to the [[Level 1 Entity]].
* Choose the standard fields using the '''Application Configuration''' page.
* Create the [[Custom Field|custom fields]] for Level 2 using either the '''Application Configuration''' page OR the '''Application Settings''' page.
* Define the “Types” of [[Level 2 Entity|Level 2 entities]] using the '''Application Settings''' page. Instead of “template’ the word “type” is used for Level 2 and Level 3.
* Define the Level 2 statuses using the '''Application Settings''' page.
* Define the '''List view''' for Level 2 items.
