Adding a data reference to your data model

Add a data reference to your data model to store a data record, which is an instance of a data type. You can then add this field to a form to prompt users to select a data record from a list at run time.

For example, you can reference the Vehicle data type on an accident claim form to display a list of car models.

1. Access the data model for a data type or a case type, based on how the field will be used in your application.
2. Click + Add field.
3. Enter the name of the data reference.
4. In the Type column, select Data reference from the list of options.
5. In the Options column, select a data type from the autocomplete field. Alternatively, you can create a new data type by clicking New.
6. Click Done.
