# Data Records

Each record in Data Collections will have the following structure:

```yaml theme={null}
id: <unique record id>
name: <human-readable record name>
url: <url record can be accessed at>
fields:
     field: <field value>
     ...
```

Connectors are responsible for transforming data from application-specific format into Data Records and back. Each record will have the following top-level properties:

* `id` – record id, unique within a given data collection.
* `name` – human-readable name of the record. It will be a person's name in case of person, task title in case of task, etc.
* `uri` – link to the record if it has its own page.
* `createdTime`
* `updatedTime`
* `deletedTime`
* `createdById` – id of an entity (usually a user) that created the record.
* `updatedById` – id of an entity that updated the record last.
* `fields` – data fields of the record that match `fieldsSchema` of the collection. Usually they match exactly the fields returned by the external application. They may differ if connector developer decided to simplify the schema for end-users.

Connector will try to do its best to populate as many of these properties as possible. At the very least, `id` is always populated.
