Connect to Data Table

Data Tables allow you to persist custom data and retrieve it whenever needed. Connect to Data Table allows you to store, read, and modify the data in the data tables on the platform. For example, let us consider an approved leave request. To store the leave data, you can use the Connect to Data Table stencil and send data to the table. Connecting to data tables help you to perform the following actions:

• Add
• Get
• Update
• Delete
