Records

A Record is one row of data: one Contact, one Deal, one Ticket. It belongs to exactly one Object and carries one Field per property the Object defines.

​

Record identity

Every record has:

• A stable id prefixed rec_, assigned at create. (Every record uses the rec_ prefix regardless of its Object; the Object itself is identified separately by an obj_ id.)
• A reference to the Object it belongs to.
• A created and updated timestamp.

​

Fields and properties

A Field is the value stored for one Property on one Record. One record has one Field per property the Object defines. When a record hasn’t had a value set for a property yet, that field shows as empty. See Fields for more detail.

​

Linking records

Records connect to other records through Relation properties. A Deal links to a Company through a relation field that points at the Company record. Custral resolves the linked record’s display name inline, so relation values render as readable pills rather than raw ids.

​

Deleting records

Deleting a record removes it along with its stored field values, and removes it from search.
