Data Sources
One table of truth. Every dropdown up to date.
Create and maintain reference tables — suppliers, regions, cost centers, regulatory codes — inside Cadenio. Connect them to form fields as dynamic dropdowns that always reflect the latest data.
The problem
Reference data lives in disconnected spreadsheets shared over email. By the time someone fills a form, the supplier list is outdated, the region codes are wrong, and nobody knows which version is current.
How it works
- 1
Create a table or import from CSV
Build columns manually or drag-and-drop a CSV file. Cadenio parses, previews, and bulk-imports rows — no formatting headaches.
- 2
Connect it to any form field
Add a Data Source field to your Flow template. Pick the table and the display column. At runtime, executors see a live, searchable dropdown.
- 3
Update once, reflect everywhere
Edit a row in the data source and every Flow that references it picks up the change instantly. No re-publishing templates, no stale options.
Used by teams like
Compliance & Audit
Regulatory body lookup across all compliance flows
Maintain a single list of regulators, codes, and jurisdictions. Every compliance Flow references the same table — no duplicated, outdated entries.
Operations
Supplier directory filtered by region
Ops keeps one supplier table with region, category, and status columns. Procurement flows pull from it in real time — always current, always consistent.
Finance
Cost center and GL account reference for every approval
Finance maintains cost centers and GL accounts in one place. Purchase and expense flows use them as dropdowns — eliminating typos and invalid codes.
Stop copy-pasting reference data into every form
One source of truth. Every dropdown always current.
