What is the primary purpose of using the Stored Values output?

The primary purpose of using the Stored Values output in Appian is to provide access to specific outputs that might be needed after a process execution, particularly when working with data changes such as database inserts. When a new row is added to a database, the Stored Values output allows the process model to capture and return the unique identifier (ID) associated with that new entry. This functionality is crucial for tracking and referencing data that has been created or modified, enabling subsequent operations like querying or updating records to be seamlessly linked to their corresponding IDs.

The ability to retrieve the ID for new records is essential for maintaining data integrity and ensuring that workflows can dynamically interact with the latest data state within the application. This is especially important in cases where multiple processes might be interacting with the same database table, and unique identifiers are necessary to relate those processes to specific entries accurately.

The other options touch on different aspects of data handling or metadata but do not relate directly to the immediate function of retrieving a newly created row’s ID by using Stored Values. For example, accessing a document's last modified timestamp or user permissions does not pertain to the purpose of capturing newly inserted database IDs and instead involves different outputs or data handling capabilities within Appian. Similarly, storing metadata about documents would fall
