System Data Blocks are a specialized subset of Data Blocks found in the Developer Center, under the Data Block Editor tab. System Data Blocks themselves are rarely edited though their respective dependencies may need to be adjusted according to the data source and structure. System Data Blocks can be identified by the blue computer icon next to the Data block output type. System Data Block cannot be deleted, though some may be edited.

| Countries | The Countries Data Block surfaces the country codes and names. By default, this list is retrieved from Assette’s internal database. If a client desires to maintain their own countries list, the Data Block CountriesLocaldb must be modified. [Link] |
| Currency Codes | The Currency Codes (CurrencyCodes) Data Block retrieves the values for all currency codes including the ID, Symbol, description, isDeleted, and short code from the Source List of Currency Codes Data Block— a Constant Data Block. The Currency Codes (CurrencyCodes) Data Block is not normally edited by end user, to update Currency Code, see Source List of Currency Codes Data Block instead. [Link] |
| Product Master* | The Product Master (ProductMaster) Data Block pulls product-related information from a database based on user-provided filters like ID, strategy, or country. It then refines the data using additional filters, if provided. After retrieving the product details, the function ensures all necessary fields are included, and if some data fields are missing (like country), it tries to fill in the gaps by looking up related information. Lastly, it checks the product’s country data and filters out any products that don’t match the given country filter, if one is provided. [Link] |
