What must be checked for the credential record to use an external repository?

To enable the credential record to utilize an external repository, it is essential to check the 'External Storage' box. This indicates that the credentials will be stored or referenced outside of the standard internal storage system, allowing the application to connect with the specified external data source.

This functionality is particularly crucial for integration with various external systems or databases, where credentials need to be pulled from non-native systems for authentication or data retrieval. By marking this option, the system understands that it needs to operate with external credentials, facilitating secure and efficient access while maintaining compliance with any necessary security protocols.

Understanding how external storage works in the context of an implementation is critical for setting up efficient data flows and integrations, ensuring that the system can interact seamlessly with other environments.
