# Items
|
|
|
|
> An Item is an object within a Collection that contains the values for one or more fields. Each item represents a
|
|
> **record** in your database.
|
|
|
|
Items are the primary building blocks of your project content. Similar to a "row" within a spreadsheet, all data within
|
|
Directus is accessed via these "atomic" data units. Items in and of themselves are fairly straightforward, however their
|
|
real power comes from the complexity that begins to form when items are relationally connected to each other.
|
|
|
|
Items are referenced (both individually and relationally) by their unique "key", which is the value saved within their
|
|
primary key field. This can techncially be anything, but is typically an auto-incrementing integer or a more complex
|
|
UUID.
