  7. Choose whether to use live data or data from a JSON file to create the data object.
    • To use data from your system of record, select Live response.

    4. For each single-value item, such as a string or Boolean, that you want to use in your application, drag the item from the response column to a corresponding field in the Fields column.
    5. If a corresponding field does not exist, add a new field to the data view by clicking the Add icon.
  9. Map the data from the request to fields in your data object.
    1. Click REST request
