Question

Appian Objects

Hi everyone,

when ever we create any Appian objects, will it create any column or row in database referring to that object?

Thank you all in advance!

Regards,

Kiran Sajjan

    This implementation is hidden from Appian developers. What are you trying to achieve here?

    Hi [mention:7628077af4b9463e9533a897fad2351f:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05],

    Actually I worked on different BPM tool before start working on Appian, In that BPM tool when ever we create any object from tool side that will automatically create table or row or column depends on the scenario.

    Just wanted to know how Appian works and how the structure is.

    Thank you!!

    appian is not a BPMN tool. That is a misunderstanding.Its a development platform which uses BPMN Logic and technology around it. It has a BPMN process engine but its not a "tool".

    What objects are you talking about?

    Appian will never create any database objects on its own. We as designers need to create the required CDTs/DataStores and/or Records first.
