Record Types

The Record class and its subclasses have received a big overhaul in the Inform SDK. We've addressed a lot of the weaknesses in the v1 model, as well as brought the models into alignment with what the rest of the Validic Inform system uses. This will make interacting with the native record models much simpler, as they will look almost exactly like the models you receive from the Inform APIs.

The main Validic Record class in the Inform SDK is InformRecord - all record classes inherit from this class. The subclasses are:

• InformMeasurement: provides point in time measurements, like height, weight, blood pressure, glucose, etc. It replaces v1's Diabetes, Biometrics, and Weight.
• InformNutrition: provides a summary of your daily nutritional intake. It replaces v1's Nutrition.
• InformSleep: provides a record of your sweet, sweet dreams. It replaces v1's Sleep.
• InformSummary: provides a summary of your daily activity, like steps, calories and heart rate. It replaces v1's Routine.
• InformWorkout: provides a list of all workout events. It replaces v1's Fitness.
• InformIntraday: provides a list of time series data for a given user. It replaces v1's Intraday.
