Object Repository
An object repository is structured in the same way as a datatable. The difference is in the type and use of the data used in scripts.
Rather than a pure data source e.g. for form filling, creating standard documents the object repository is used for storing common flow data, separating the scripts from confidential data and allowing data to be reused in multiple scripts while it can be updated from a central source.
The data is formatted in the same way as in a datatable with the top row being the header row which identifies the variable names which can be referenced in the scripts.
Object Repository Data

If using Word the .xlsx /.csv file can be referenced in the Task Pane Object Repository optionLocal vs Global Repository Files
Note
Each flow has a local object repository and all flows share the global object repository.
The local object repository is the tagui_local.csv in the same folder as the flow.
The global object repository is the tagui_global.csv in the tagui/src/ folder.
The local repository file takes precedence over the global.
