Understanding How to Retrieve Structured Data

We have a new Vendor App which includes Structured Data in its Package.

I have 23-months experience thru CA 11.0.11.  In that Vendor's App (at another
Client), they did NOT include Structured Data in any of their Packages.

We will be having a conference call next week with the Vendor to seek instructions
how to retrieve Query Items from the Structured Data.

So far, Searches have not found any videos on retrieving Query Items from
Structured Data.  There has a be a fairly simple way to do that?

Can anyone suggest videos, or documents, describing how to do that?

TIA, Bob

What do you mean by "Structured data"? Dimensions?
Can you publish a screenshot of the package ?

By 'structured data' do you mean metadata from a data base i.e. tables, columns, and RI?

Thank you both.

I have attached an example from "Structured Data" in the Vendor's Package.

There are many of these Structured Data Fields that wind up in a List.

It looks like values being sourced for radio buttons (or multi-select) on an Input form,

However, we have no idea how the answers to those Structured Data entries
wind up being Query Items for a List.

A simple Prompt page we use is Beginning and Ending Dates to retrieve the
"Structured Data".

HTH.  TIA, Bob

We have found the S O L U T I O N 111

Apparently "Structured Data" is a term the App's Vendor uses.

The vendor has several Folders utilizing the "Structured Data".

To see those Field values in a List, we include a Filter on the
"Structured Data Name".

Thank you for the Help.
