Custom records require a strict format with several dozen different data fields. Due to the complexity, it is highly recommended to create a new custom record template in the CAD UI, and then retrieve the record template for adding new records.
{"recordTypeId": -1,// This is the unique ID for this record type!"id": -1,// This is the individual record ID number (Leave -1 for NEW)"syncId": "",// This is used for DB Sync/Merge mapping - Leave Blank"name": "Eample Record Type",// This is the name of the record type"type": 1,// See TYPE enum"sections": [] // Array of custom record "section" objects}
Record Type ID
This is a unique ID for this record type. It is highly recommended to get all of this data from an existing custom record template that you have created in the CAD.
Record Type
The record "type" is an enumerator used to distinguish the category of the custom record/report.

The "Section" object contains all of the data for a custom record section. These objects are held in the sections array in the custom record object.

Category
The category field contains an enumerator representing the section type. These correspond to the custom or premade category types in the custom record editor.

The field object contains all of the data for an individual custom record field. These objects are held in the fields array in the section object.

The STATUS field type is required for Vehicle Registration type records and provides additional optional functionality for BOLO and Warrant records. This status allows the database to search for BOLO/Warrant records that are open or closed, and vehicle registrations that are approved or pending in the DMV panel.
The STATUS field value contains an enumeration (integer) value as follows:
Enumerator (Int)

1
APPROVED
CLOSED
2
REJECTED

Mask
Masks can be used in a field to force a specific entry format
Ex: (###) ### - #### forces a phone number format.

UID
The UID or "Unique ID" field helps internally map Database Merge fields.
In addition, a UID field with the value of "first" and "last" are required for the civilian records. A UID field of "plate" is required for a vehicle registration record. This is how the backend process determines searchable license plate and character name values.
When you create a custom record and add in a civilian or vehicle section, the imported section will keep the same UID fields. This is how data is mapped from a character or vehicle search and placed into a custom record.
Data
The data object stores detailed objects for pre-made section types. The data object type (charge, agency info, flags, etc.) stored can be determined by the parent section's category enumeration value. If the parent section's category is not 0 (Custom) then the section will contain a single field, with the data property containing the detailed object.
Ex: record.sections[index].fields[0].data object would contain agency information if the record.sections[index].category is 2 (Agency).
