# What is an Object Type?

An Object Type is a specification or prototype for an object. Object types define the properties, attributes and relationships that objects of their type can have.

## Object Types and SubTypes

An object type can have sub-types that inherit the properties of their parent type. This means that you can create an object type with a default set of properties, then create more specialised object types without having to repeat all the object type configuration.

If you create an object that belongs to a parent type, it can later be converted to any of that parent's sub-types.
