Data Provider

Description​

Data Provider is very important and becomes a crucial point to display, edit, and delete data that has entered your application. Especially in terms of editing, you must include Data Provider in the existing flow created in the screen.

warning

If you do not set up the Data Provider to be included in the screen with the edit/update/display action, errors may occur in your screen workflow, or the data you want to display may not appear at all.

How to Use It​

Using Data Provider is not difficult, but it requires precision so that you do not display the wrong data. Here's how to use it:

  1. In the Screen section, see the icon to the left of the green save button. If you hover over the icon, a statement will appear that the button is for entering Data Provider.
