Customization

Creating a New Entity

1. From the bin/ folder, run php clean_names.php
2. You will be asked the following questions:
   1. What is the singular form of your entity?
   2. What is the plural form of your entity?
   3. What is the abbreviated form of your entity?
   4. Is your entity revisionable?

The script will then create the new entity table, the model files, the Symfony module, and all class hierarchy adjustments.
