You typically connect a data object to a system of record when you first create a data object. For example, for an Employee data object, you might connect to a system of record that populates the data object with employee information fields, such as Name, Department, or Start Date. However, you can connect an existing data object to a system of record after creation by completing the following steps.

1. In the navigation pane of App Studio, click Data.

2. Under Data, click Data objects and integrations.

3. Click a data object.

4. Click the Data views tab.

5. Click Connect to system of record.

   The System field displays Pega as the default system.
   • To connect to a Pega system of record, accept the default.
   • To create a new system to connect to an external database, click Create new.

6. Click Submit.

   Result: The Data views tab displays the data view name, type, and database source.

7. Click Save.
