Overview
Investing in reusability when delivering applications in Appian can yield dividends for future projects and larger programs of work. Dataless Design is a design practice that moves all references to data into rule inputs for interfaces and establishes standards to ensure that the components you create behave like base product components. This approach makes it easy to drag and drop components from the design library and use them in different projects with varying data and styling requirements, without duplicating the components.
The Dataless Design Best Practice Guide is included in the Combined Files Zip.

Key Features & Functionality
The design library starter kit is a collection of functional components designed to accelerate application builds. These components are built to the "Dataless Design" Best Practice, making them independent of specific data and easy to reuse and maintain.
The following components, available in both Record Backed and fully Dataless versions, provide a fast start to your deliveries:
Note: These components are fully functional interfaces created using standard Appian configuration based on the Dataless Design Best Practice developed by Dave Hillier. They are provided "as is" and can be customized as needed. Future versions and improvements will be provided, and any breaking changes will be versioned as outlined in the attached best practice document.
Great stuff!! Very useful.
