Manage records

This guide covers working with records by hand — creating, editing, and deleting them. To bring records in automatically, use automation or import from a file.

Manually entered data has Medium priority — the default for every source. In data consolidation, a higher-priority source can overwrite it and a lower-priority one can't.

Create a record

Add a record with the + New button on the right of the control bar.

The + New button

The creation window opens — fill in the essentials and save. You can add the rest afterwards in the record's detail.

Edit a record

Editing happens in the record detail — open it with the pen / Edit icon on the row.

  1. Enable edit mode with the Edit button.
  2. Make your changes — every field the record's space offers is editable here.
  3. Click the blue Save button.
Editing a record in edit mode

Prefer to open records ready to edit? An admin can enable Automatically start edit mode in record detail in System settings.

Delete a record

Delete a record with the trash icon — on the right of the table row, or inside the record detail. A confirmation is always shown so you don't delete by accident.

If other parts of the system depend on the record, Boost.space shows exactly which links must be removed first — this keeps your data consistent instead of leaving broken references.
