An examination of the Data Dictionary shows properties in green, blue, and red. These colors have the following meanings:

Color	Meaning
Green	The object property is part of the Guidewire base configuration. The object definition file exists in Studio in the following locations: config > configuration > Metadata config > configuration > Extensions
Blue	The object property is defined in an extension file, either by Guidewire or as a user customization. The object definition file exists in Studio in the following location: config > configuration > Extensions It is possible for Guidewire to define a base object in the Metadata folder and then to extend the object using an extension entity in the Extensions folder.
Red	Occasionally, it is possible to see a message in red in the Data Dictionary that states: This entity is overwritten by the application during staging. This message indicates that Guidewire PolicyCenter auto-populates a table or column's staging table equivalent. Do not attempt to populate the table yourself as the loader import process overwrites the staging table during import. See also the description of the `overwrittenInStagingTable` attribute in <entity> elements and related data object types.
