    • The activity returns aCustomDataSet, representing the retrieved dataset and optionally its data.

Considerations

  • Data Volume: Be mindful of the volume of data when including dataset data, as this can impact performance. Use pagination to manage large datasets.
  • Data Integrity: Ensure the parameter definition ID is valid and correctly specified to avoid errors during retrieval.
  • Search and Sort: Utilize search and sort options to efficiently retrieve and organize dataset data according to specific criteria.
  • Permissions: Verify that the necessary permissions are in place for the user or application retrieving the dataset to prevent unauthorized actions.
