Sourcing data with autopopulated properties

Autopopulated properties hold metadata on clipboard pages and are declarative, which means that the system triggers autopopulated properties automatically.

You can seamlessly import data from autopopulated properties that support savable data pages, into an existing model. Autopopulated properties make the applications that you build easier to manage and maintain. Other benefits to autopopulated properties that support savable data pages include:

  • Enable the discoverability of data relationships within the model.
  • Authorize customers to modify and extend data pages without requiring updates.
  • Reduce the number of touch points between data pages and case/data types.

If you use Autopopulate by copy with a savable data page, the save plan executes on the copy, instead of the data page. You can also list the data pages you save on your flow action instead of using an activity, as shown in the following figure:
