External Data Object

This feature is under a feature flag. To access it, a server administrator must go to the Server Settings page under Administration, and turn on the External Data feature flag.

This page describes how to set up an object representing data that can change over time.

Add an object of type External Data to the repository.

Click “Upload File” to add the first data.

Once some data is uploaded, it will be displayed.

To upload a more recent version of the data, click “Update”. The latest version will be displayed, but you can see earlier versions.

Anything using this data, such as the External Data Generator, will use the most recent version of the data.
