# Fields

> The values stored on a Record, one per Property.

A **Field** is one value stored on one Record for one Property. Think of it as a single cell in the grid. The intersection of one record (the row) and one property (the column).

## Field shape

The shape of a field's value depends on its property type. See each property type's "Value shape" section:

* [Text](/data/properties/text/text), [Email](/data/properties/text/email), [Phone](/data/properties/text/phone)
* [Number](/data/properties/number/number), [Currency](/data/properties/number/currency)
* [Date](/data/properties/date/date), [Time](/data/properties/date/time)
* [Select](/data/properties/select/select), [Status](/data/properties/select/status)
* [External](/data/properties/complex/external), [Formula](/data/properties/complex/formula)

## History

Field changes are captured as activity events. Open a record's timeline to see who changed what and when. These changes can also trigger automations. See [Workflow triggers](/automation/workflows/triggers).

## Permissions

Fields inherit the Record's permissions by default. Property-level overrides also exist, a "salary" property on the People object can be restricted to HR even if the People records themselves are widely visible.
