# What is a Record?

A **Record** is the core object in Origin Studio.

Records are the “books” in your Origin Studio library.

Each Record represents one abstract media title object. Examples: a Series, a Season, an Episode, or a Movie.

### Work Type drives how a Record behaves

Every Record has a **Work Type**.

Work Type controls:

* Which fields you capture.
* Which relationships are allowed.
* How the UI presents the Record.

See [Record Worktype](/studio/core-concepts/record-worktype.md).

### Records in the UI vs the API

In the UI, you usually work “through” the Work Type. You open a Series page, not a generic Record page.

In the API, all Work Types are managed through the Records endpoints.

### Records are made of fields

Fields store the metadata on the Record.

Admins can configure fields, sections, and layouts. See [Fields and Record Layout Management](/studio/admin-and-configuration/fields-and-record-layout-management.md).
