What are the two different ways to create local storage?

The correct approach to creating local storage involves leveraging the capabilities of the OutSystems development environment to either define new data entities or utilize existing database entities. This versatility allows developers to create a robust local storage structure tailored to the application's needs.

When local storage is created "like data entities," it means that developers can specify the structure (attributes, data types, relationships, etc.) of the local storage explicitly within the OutSystems environment, making it adaptable and efficient for mobile applications. Additionally, the option to derive local storage from existing database entities reflects the platform's flexibility; this allows for quick integration and synchronization of data without the need to redefine the structure from scratch, proving to be a time-saving and logical method of managing data locally.

Creating local storage only from existing entities, utilizing a configuration file, or solely through drag-and-drop methods do not provide the same breadth of options and usability as the correct method indicated. These restrictions would limit the developer’s capability to customize local storage to match the mobile application's specific requirements.
