I was wondering if it is possible to create a single records from two different sources, for example one process and an entity. Say for example I have a process that creates performance assessments and I want a record that can display the active assessments and the completed assessments as simply assessments. Both would display the same information but one would be coming from an active process and the other from the data store that we are writing the completed assessments to? Is this even possible and if so can someone point me in the direction of how it would be done?

This sounds like a "federation" pattern...taking two (or more) data sources and generating a single Record list. You can do this by creating a single Service-Backed Record and within the underlying expression (and nested expressions) retrieve the data from the two separate sources, format them into the same CDT type (using the type! constructor) and then performing a union of the two result sets.
