Appian developers can create record types by connecting to existing data sources, and they can also create record types and tables from scratch.

• A. False
• B. Partially
• C. True
• D. Not Specified

Answer: (C)

Appian supports both paths for building record types. You can create a record type by connecting to an existing data source, such as a database or external system, mapping the record type to that data. You can also model data directly within Appian by defining a new custom data type (CDT) and associating it with a data store; this creates the backing tables from scratch (or on deployment) so you can build a record type without relying on pre-existing tables. This flexibility lets you unify data from multiple sources or prototype new structures entirely inside Appian before integrating with external systems.
