First, set the 'MruTableNames' application setting (comma-separated list) to include the table name(s) for which you want to register a new entity.
This can be done in SWAT either in the (config→ environment -> .restapplicationsettings file,)

Or from the Application Settings Desktop (from UI, if available).

...

Customers would need to provide their own implementation of this service (either by implementing the service from scratch or overriding the default SWAT legacy implementation). Create a folder in src → backend which is called <Customer Name > create a folder <OERA> create folder <metadata> and file EntityMetadataService.cls and insert the following code and overwrite the table name.Image Removed

IEntityMetadataService customization

...

Some fields used in the template get their value based on the table definition file

(for ex. TargetKey is set based on the xml table KeyFields attribute; so at runtime, for our table, the value display for the key comes MRU entry keycomes from the field specified in the attribute).

This applies for the key (KeyFields attribute) and the MRU record description (descriptionFields attribute).
