"Other" Entities

Entities that aren't main or enumeration entities are simply "other" entities. For example, in this tutorial application, the "other" entities are CreditCard, Director, Fee, MovieRole, PlotSummary, Rental, Review, TalentPhoto, and Voting.

"Other" entities can be manipulated through the master-detail user interfaces of main entities. This explains why a Movie's studio relationship is displayed by itself in the middle of the window while the other relationships are displayed below in a tab view. The destination entity of the studio relationship, Studio, is a main entity. Main entities have their own form windows with which you edit them. The destinations of the other relationships are "other" entities. Since they don't have their own form windows, they are edited in master-detail interfaces inside a main entity's form window.
