Data Service

A data service is used to retrieve data from one or several API transactions. Through a data service, you can copy, retrieve, update, or delete data. Using an operation and an interaction in a component’s configuration, the data service is used to populate the component with data.

An operation is used to connect a data service to a component. The operation indicates how the data from the data service is used by the component. The operations available in Experience Designer are Read, Update, Delete, and Document. The operations are configured in the components.

An interaction indicates when the operation is triggered. For example, when the application loads, when a record in a component is clicked, or when a button is clicked. The interactions are configured in the components.
