Data Grid
Description
Data Grid creates a static, in-line tabular dataset directly within a workflow without requiring an external data source. Use this step for testing, demonstrations, or providing small reference datasets — for example, defining a lookup table of status codes or generating sample rows to validate downstream logic. You define the field metadata and data values in the step configuration, making it a quick way to inject known data into any point in a workflow.
