Hi @Kamil Janeczek,
I have some basic questions.
1. In a constellation, is it always recommended to create a new data model either in the implementation layer or organizational layer (e.g., Contact), or can we reuse an existing data model (e.g., PegaDATA-Contact) through inheritance? I haven't found any documentation references on this. What is the recommended approach for a greenfield application?
2. Also, should we build a new greenfield application on top of the Pega Common Data Model application, or as a standalone? What is suggested?
Thank you.

How to Add Read-Only Text to the UI or View in Constellation Without a Data Model
In traditional UI, we add a paragraph to the section. Similarly How can we achieve this in Constellation without using a data model?

@Arunkum@r Hi Arunkumar,
In Constellation I see Form views allow to override case instructions, likewise we used paragraph rules in UI-Kit to add additional information to a collect information step.
Field groups also allow this, so you might add your text to either of those. So, in a nutshell you can combine Form views (like to add top instructions) and then field groups to add more focused instructions.
Hope this helps.
