Creating record instances

A record instance is the data created by the application for which the structure of the data is specified by the record definition. You can create a record instance by using any of the following methods:

  • The Data editor available on the Records tab.
  • An application itself. For example, use the Record editor component in Create mode. For more information, see Creating-a-view-for-a-record-instance-by-using-record-editor.
  • The Record Service via the Record Instance Resource, with a REST client such as POSTMAN. 

Important

Application business analysts can customize the objects developed in their own applications and that are marked customizable by the administrator, but cannot customize the objects developed in com.bmc.arsys in Best Practice Customization mode. For example, objects in core BMC applications like Foundation, Approval, and Assignment cannot be customized in Best Practice Customization mode. For more information, see Customization-layer.
