After creating a DataTable based on it's ThingTemplate, you'll have available all the 'CRUD' Services and beyond to interact with the DataTable.

Also on the 'mashup' tab of the DataTable entity you'll have a CRUD screen.

Hi @Keerthi101.

Can you explain more about the source of the data?  Is it something you actually need to move to ThingWorx?  If you can describe your use case, we might be able to add to the information Pai has already provided.

Regards.

Hi @Keerthi101.

Would it work for you to retrieve the details from the external database when a tool is selected from the dropdown?  If so, you can create a service to retrieve the details and bind that service to a grid or some other appropriate widget.  This will eliminate the need to store the same information in two places and it ensures that you're always pulling current information.

How to populate your infotable?  I assume the external system would be the system of record.  Is that correct?
