!!!Alias: IVDEN
The INF_CV_ENTITIES table is used to import entity codes and their attendant data into the software data structures.  The Entity Code is a user-defined code that uniquely identifies the entity.  It is often an abbreviation of the name or initials, or an acronym by which the organization refers to itself.
