* A record is a reference to information and provides metadata to manage the information. Records can electronic or physical (i.e. a document stored in CE or a physical book).

* Document objects are stored in the Records-enabled content Object Store (ROS) and the corresponding record objects are stored in the File Plan Object Store (FPOS).
* There is no limit on number of document stored on Records Category. The 'Record' is simply a custom object stored in database.
