Chapter 6: Understanding Business Data in Appian Projects
Tarence Limited needs to manage a massive pile of data to be able to serve its customers. You need to develop a good understanding of what that data is in detail and how to model it. You already know about enterprise architecture and information architecture. We will now create a real-world data model for our application, following well-known methodologies and Appian best practices.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Main business data entities: These represent our most important business objects.
- Adding relations: Define how our business objects relate to each other.
- Adding details: Define data fields that make our objects.
- Adding application data: Have a place for processes to persist data.
- Finding the right level: Find the right level between too simple and too complex.
