Easily access data records in your app using Retrieve Data Entry actions.

The Retrieve Data Entry actions in Naologic are designed to help users retrieve records from a database or dataset, whether for displaying specific details or listing multiple entries. There are two types of actions available: Retrieve Single Data Entry and Retrieve Multiple Data Entries. Both actions follow a similar installation process, but each serves a different purpose based on the number of records they retrieve.

Key Difference Between Retrieve Single and Multiple Data Entries

• Retrieve Single Data Entry: Fetches a specific, single record from the data source, ideal for displaying details of an individual entry, such as a single customer profile or a specific order.

• Retrieve Multiple Data Entries: Retrieves multiple records from the data source, suitable for displaying lists or tables, such as customer lists, product inventories, or order histories.

Proper setup ensures that users can quickly access the data they need for efficient workflows.
