Introduction to records
Define and structure event data across stories with records. Captured from the storyboard, each row of a record represents a story run.
With records you can:
Create a system of record
Store and report on data produced by Tines
Structure relevant story run and event data
View data visually through multiple chart options
Enable the storage of raw logs or extensive data dumps directly within the records table
Create an “alert” to be further processed or referenced later when creating a case
Define a “retention period” or “time to live” (TTL) for a record type
Manage parent-child relationships in records through the API
Create cross story reports using records with dashboards
Record elements
