Data Suitcase General Overview
A Data Suitcase (or Mojo) is simply an XML document. Sometimes, for advanced situations, you may choose to use JSON. For now we'll focus on XML.
Currently, the Blink Platform provides two main automated methods for using Data Suitcase data - to prepopulate a single List within a Form, or to pre-populate an entire Blink Form.
The basic steps to using Data Suitcases are:
- Generate your XML file (manually, or through a webservice).
- Setup a trigger point in your Blink App to download the XML and store it as a Data Suitcase.
- Configure your List or Form to use the Data Suitcase as a source.
Questions to ask when designing your Data Suitcase:
- How frequently will this data change - daily, weekly, monthly?
- How should updates be sent to users? Automatically or manually?

Basic-Mode Devices
Basic-mode devices are not assumed to have sufficient device-side storage. When these devices access an XSLT interaction, only the result of the XSLT is transmitted to the device. As the XSLT is performed entirely on our server, the very latest version of the Data Suitcases is always available.
