A record is an entry in the Universal Controller database. Most records are created by the user via the user interface, but others (such as Agent records) are created by the Controller.

...

  • Fields with names followed by an asterisk ( * ) are required.
  • Gray fields are read-only.
  • White fields are editable. They may accept any value or only values selected from a drop-down list.
  • Some fields provide a drop-down list of values, which are the only selections available for that field.
  • Some fields contain a default value.
  • Some fields provide hints that describe value to be entered/selected for that field.

Two properties are available that allow you to control if and when the Controller automatically creates a new version of a record (and all its associated records):

  • The Automatically Create Versions Universal Controller system property (true or false) determines whether modifications to the record itself will cause the Controller to create a new version of the record. The default value is true. If this property is set to false, the Controller does not create versions.
  • The Create Version On Related List Change Universal Controller system property (true or false) determines whether changes, deletions, or additions to a related list will cause the Controller to create a new version of the record. For example, if this property is enabled, the Controller will create a new version of the task and all its associated records when the user adds a variable to the task, deletes a Note, or changes an Email Notification. The default value is true. If this property is set to false, and the Automatically Create Versions property is set to true, the Controller creates a new version only if the base record is updated.

...

If you are updating multiple records on the All Tasks list or All Triggers list, the Update / Update Filtered dialog contains only fields that are common to all types of tasks or triggers.
