Summary
In this chapter, you learned how to turn an Entity-Relationship model into tangible CDTs and records in Appian. You now know that a CDT itself cannot store data but, used in a data store, it defines the structure of a database table. On top of these tables, you created records, which synchronize the data into a high-performance data layer that you then use to model complex record relationships.
This is the required foundation for the next chapter, where you will learn how to create executable process models in Appian.
