About the Data and Data Properties Panels
Use the Data panel to add ThingWorx data entities to your mashup. An entity is a ThingWorx object, such as a Thing, Thing Shape, Thing Templates, Subsystem, Stream, and Data Table. Each entity contains a number of services that you can use in your mashup. Data services can retrieve data or perform an action within a ThingWorx entity. You can bind services to the bindable properties of mashups, widgets, and functions.
A data service can have required input parameters, or returned data from a ThingWorx entity. For example, a service that removes an entry from a data table requires an input parameter that contains a string value with the entry to delete.
When you select a service in the Data panel, its related properties appear in the Data Properties panel. You can bind events in a service to trigger other services using the ServiceInvokeCompleted event. To configure a service, click 
on the Data Properties panel. This opens the service configuration dialog box, where you can manage notifications and set bindings for the selected service.
