Enumerators are similar to programming enumerators (.NET and other languages) and very useful in custom code where a readable name used in selections or formulas instead of numbers or symbols.


(!) In future enumerators will move to Entity and will be created automatically from database. Also could be used in Query Filters


Enumerators are not mandatory, you could build your application without them. But we recommend to use them since they provide more readable code.


Besides benefits in custom code enumerators could be used as a result type for client or server actions.
