Entity name can be provided dynamically using rule input to query entity rule.

1. Create RI of type DSE.

2. Provide DSE constant while calling the queryEntity rule. You can have DSE constant with multiple values and provide appropriate index. E.g. cons!DSE_EMP[1] etc.

You can still use what Aman mentioned by defining a constant against the name. Please understand that on Appian, you cannot refer the entity with just the name and you need a pointer (constant in this case) so you'll have to involve it anyhow.

Now you can use an expression as shown or you can build a decision object that takes the name as input and returns the required constant

Hi,

I am building api which takes the output from multiple tables and can't create multiple API for this. So approach is to have one api using query entity and from the system it is being invoked we will pass the entity name or table name to API as query parameters.
