Entity References#

Many CLI options and API parameters accept entity references—a consistent string format for referring to entities (and optionally a sub-resource) across the platform.


Format#

[workspace/]entity_name[#fragment]

Part

Required

Description

workspace

No

Workspace name. If omitted, the workspace is taken from your current context (CLI --workspace, SDK client, or request).

entity_name

Yes

The entity’s unique name within the workspace.

#fragment

No

Optional entity-specific path or parameters (e.g. a file path within a fileset).


Examples#

  • default/my-fileset — Fileset named my-fileset in workspace default.

  • my-fileset — Same entity when your current context already specifies the workspace.

  • prod/my-fileset#data/training.parquet — A specific path inside that fileset (when the entity type supports fragments).

Can use the full form workspace/entity_name to keep the reference unambiguous regardless of context.
