Configure the data store

A data store lets you define the data that appears in a list. The data consists of a collection of fields, Name and Type. For example, to display a work queue in the List control, define the following set:

  • Activity Name (string)

  • Due Date (date)

  • Assigned To (string)

  • EPC (int)

  • NodeID (int)

  • JobId (string)

Once defined, data store properties are available for use in an action. For example, you can consume a data store similar to a table in a DB Query action and then map the fields in the data store to the data returned.

  1. On the Extended Properties page of a List control, click the Data Store tab.
  2. Enter a unique Name for the fields.
  3. Select the Type of data, such as String.
  4. Click Add.
  5. Click Close.
