You can create the master data or reference data table in the Appian cloud database only. And create a record type to easily use them in your application.

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.

Links for reference -

Hope this helps you!!!

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.
