Defining record definitions to store and manage data

A record definition is a collection of data required for building the application for your business process. A record definition consists of specific record fields; for example, you can store a task as a record definition. 

Important

Application business analysts can customize the objects developed in their own applications and that are marked customizable by the developers, 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.

Understand the concepts related to a record definition, record field, and types of record definitions

Create a regular record definition and modify record definitions to add or update record fields, permissions, or record indexes or include record data with the bundle

Create a join record definition to combine data from multiple record definitions. Join record definitions are similar to database joins

Create an external record definition

Inherit or extend an existing record definition to a new record definition

Cefine a relationship between the record definitions

Use a custom record definition to fetch record data from multiple record definitions and display them in a single record view.

Encrypt or hide the field data

Create record instances

Create security labels to provide a series of groups, roles, users view, and edit access to record instances using a rule or a process

Select from multiple, row level security (RLS) algorithms to enhance row-level access control and improve server performance by retrieving the record data faster.

Create hierarchical groups by using security labels

Enable archiving of record definitions

Enable auditing of record definitions

Customize the record definitions, view definitions, process definitions, rule definitions, named list definitions, and association definitions created for an application
