What is the purpose of Appian Records?

The purpose of Appian Records is to provide a unified view of business information, enabling users to access relevant data and take appropriate actions quickly and efficiently. Records aggregate various data points from different sources, allowing users to see a holistic perspective of the information related to specific business entities or processes. This objective of unifying data and facilitating actions is particularly important in business scenarios where timely decision-making is crucial.

In contrast, while storing archived processes may be part of a broader application lifecycle or monitoring efforts, it does not encompass the primary intent of Appian Records, which focuses on current and actionable data. Similarly, customizable interfaces and the ability to connect to databases and other interfaces are valuable features within Appian, but they serve different functions that do not specifically address the unification of business information and action-oriented functionalities that Appian Records provide.
