Record Groups in Tableset Sharing

A record group is a set of functionally or logically related records or views based on how the records are used in the system. A record group can contain a single record or view, or it can contain many records and views. Record groups are delivered as part of the PeopleSoft system and should not be altered.

When you create a business unit, that business unit is automatically linked to each record group in the system that you are using.

Record groups exist for two purposes:

• To save time in data entry.

  With record groups, tableset sharing can be accomplished quickly and easily instead of requiring redundant data entry.

• To provide consistency in the data.

  Record groups ensure that tableset sharing is applied consistently across all related tables and views in the system.
