Best Practice on Data Structure Choice

Hi all,
Were attempting to build an app that will display a members contact information on a screen and allow a rep to update the info if needed. What would be the best Data Structure to use? The data will be pulled from an external database.

Hello GeeTrends,
For the use case you mentioned, I would say an External Entities Data Structure would be helpful. External Entities are meant to assist with managing a table on an external database.

GeeTrends, can confirm. This is the way to go! I just finished doing this same use case and am using external entities per each table that I need to talk to.

Just make sure to follow these directions closely because I didnt make the connection at first, but once you create the External Entity, you have to actually go in and map each of the different connection/action flows:
