Define Database Structure

Defining your database structure means specifying and defining a record type for each entity that comprises your database, and within the record defining the field types for each of the entity's properties.

When a new database is created, it automatically inherits a default set of generic record types (and record structures). These are copied into your database by default and can be managed as required: edited, hidden or removed (unless locked).

If a record type doesn't exist, you can define a new one.

Note. It is good practice to reuse existing record types as much as possible.

You can then specify the field types that comprise the record type. You can insert fields from a set of pre-defined common field types. These may be from the default set that comes with all new databases, or field types you have already created (or imported). If the field type doesn't exist, you can create a new field type.

Note. You can re-use new record type definitions in subsequent databases.
