Where create the master data and how to get them

Question

I have to create the master data in my new app. That's it, Countries, Cities, Genders, Languages, etc. 
 Where do I have to create this kind of data? In an external database? And how can I get the data from the app?: CDT, REcordType, etc? 
 
 Thanks!

Unless this data is available via API's, you would need to create a datasource - probably via Records. You can then create the objects that write, update, read and delete the data. 
 The external database you would initially be the Appian OOB MariaDB use unless your IT team has another database used.

HI danielg424213 , Yes you can create it from external sources like google, kaggle, ChatGPT etc. Just import the datasets that you downloaded from the above sites, or execute the queries searching in web. Create recordtype from existing database - Link . Done!! you have master data that can be used for any applications. Just query the data using Expression rule and use it.
