data records
Filed information units
Data records are structured collections of related information stored as single units in a database or file system.
Each record contains fields holding specific pieces of data—a customer record might include name, address, and account number.
The term appears in computing, business, and legal contexts: The company maintains data records on all transactions.
In plural, it often refers to documentation subject to retention policies or privacy regulations.
