- Configure a canonical structure to define a relationship between your nodes and their attributes.
- Define tags that enable all the processes in your application to consume and return data from the context definition.
- Map your nodes and attributes to the correct input data source so that your context definition is consuming the right data. Data here represents Salesforce objects or custom objects and their fields.
