About Records and Fields
A Record is a collection of fields and contains all the data about one particular person,
company, or item in a database that is required for creating a single document for a single
recipient (see Record for more information).
A Field is part of a record and contains a single piece of data for the subject of the record. If the
record is an employee, a field would be Firstname, Lastname, or City or State.
Data Model File Structure
The Data Model file is a XML file that contains the structure of the data model, including each
field's name, data type, and any number of detail tables and nested tables.
Example for promotional data, including a simple name and address:
