Function: New

Note: To better understand how the New function works, check out the Using Apps with Data Service pages in the How To section.

Use this function to create a new in-memory entity. This entity is not stored in the data service until a Create entity rule is run.

You can use the New function to create a new entity record, while the Lookup function creates a data context which can only be used to update an existing entity record.

For more information on using the function, see the Using the New Function page.
