Scientists use entries to record experimental work, observations, and supporting data such as text, tables, file attachments, and results tables. Entries support authorship, custom fields, folder organization, optional entry schemas, review workflows, and project-based access control. Document content is available as ordered document parts. - `__typename` string - `applicableReviewProcesses` string, uri: Lists review processes configured for the entry's project. Use the paginated list of applicable review processes for the full list including stages and version details. - `archiveReason` string, nullable: Specifies the archive reason when the entry is archived. - `archived` boolean: Specifies whether the entry is archived. - `createdAt` string, datetime, nullable: Specifies when the entry was created. - `customFields` CustomField[], nullable: Lists custom field values on the entry. - `__typename` string - `name` string, nullable - `value` string, nullable - `displayId` string, nullable: Specifies the display ID for the entry. - `folder` FolderRef - `__typename` string - `id` string, api_id - `id` string: Identifies the entry. - `modifiedAt` string, datetime, nullable: Specifies when the entry was last modified. - `name` string, nullable: Specifies the title of the entry. - `review` ReviewRef - `__typename` string - `id` string, api_id - `reviewSource` ProjectRef - `__typename` string - `id` string, api_id - `schema` EntrySchemaRef - `__typename` string - `id` string, api_id - `selectors` TableCellSelector[]: Lists dropdown selectors available to table cells in the document. - `__typename` string - `name` string: Specifies the display name of the selector. - `options` string[]: Lists the allowed dropdown option values. - `selectorId` string: Specifies the selector identifier within the document.
