Simple data types consist of Byte, Date, Long, Short, Double, Single, String, Integer and Boolean. Below is a short description of each simple type.

Byte: An 8-bit unsigned integer that ranges from 0 to 255 Date: Represents a specific date and time. Long: A 64-bit signed integer that holds larger whole numbers. Short: A 16-bit signed integer that holds smaller whole numbers. Double: A 64-bit floating point number used for precise decimal values. Single: A 32-bit floating point number used for less precise decimal values. String: A sequence of characters. Integer: A 32-bit signed integer for whole numbers. Boolean: Represents true or false values.

When we create a tag using the Tag Manager in Prophecy, we should see a list of these types in the data type dropdown. Selecting one will instantiate a tag with the selected data type.

Since simple data types are predefined and they are fundamental to define tag data, these data types are immutable within the Data Type Manager. This is why upon selecting a simple data type the edit view will consist of disabled fields which describe the data type. Additionally, we will not be able to delete simple types.
