Hi.
I am trying to build an app that: (1) gets the longitude/latitude of the current working machine of the user, (2) compares these coordinates to six different locations to find the closest option, (3) display that closest option to another group of people in the app.
I have done the first step, but I do not know how to store the six different locations as a CDT. I know that the data store can do the trick, but I don't really want to go through a long chain of access steps in my company to try and setup and connect an external DB to this system if it is only for 6 different instances.Is there a way to store these locations as CDTs without the external DB?
As a follow up, I was thinking of displaying the result as a report, but this requires an interface. Do I actually need an interface here, or can I just display the result of a decision table or something?
Thanks

If this is an action that is short lived, one option could be to use process variables. https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/19.2/Working_with_Data_in_Process.html
If you want to display information to a user, you need an interface object. You can display the interface in a number of ways (reports, records, etc.), but if you choose to use a process to store your data, one good option is a user input task.
FYI, this thread appears to be a duplicate of this other one.
