Create, update, and delete records

A record is a set of related attribute values in a database for a single geographic feature. For example, in an address database, the street, city, country, and postal code may compose one address record.

When creating a flow with these actions, you must have feature layer editing permissions for the layer stored in your ArcGIS account. If you do not have the appropriate permissions, you can't save or run the flow.
