Using remote choice fields to directly access provider data

Remote choice fields provide your consumers direct access to your (provider) data in real time while they submit a remote catalog item from their instance.

Remote choice fields enable consumers to view the choice list for a catalog reference field directly from the provider's instance. They provide the following advantages:

• Removes the need to replicate foundation data.
• Reduces the cost and maintenance of integrations.

You can control the data that your consumers access by defining a remote choice field. To learn more, see Create remote choice definitions in Service Exchange for Providers.
