Data structure​

ComponentWhat it is
Main tableThe table with the app's main data
Subset tableA table with a subset of data connected to the Main table
RecordA row in the Main table or a subset table
FieldAn individual piece of data with a label and a data type; a collection of fields makes up a record

Example​

The Main table has a record for every claim. A Claim Notes subset table has a record for each note logged against a claim — each note record ties back to a particular claim.

To add a note, a user opens the claim's record and enters a new row in the Claim Notes subset.
