Use cases
Classification of raised floor tile types (solid, perforated, grated) with airflow characteristics.
TILETYPE is a lookup entity referenced by TILE records to classify the type of raised floor tile (e.g. solid, perforated 25%, grated). Beyond name and description, it captures perforation percentage and nominal airflow rating in CFM, which are critical for cooling calculations and computational fluid dynamics modelling. The isActive flag allows deprecating tile types no longer in use without deleting historical references. Uses simple view since it is a reference data entity with a small number of records.
