Feeding information into these three higher level records however, is the **Mystic Expanse** - essentially, a potentially vast amount of small **foundation** data records. These foundation data records provide everything from Keywords to Contributor names, Class names to reader circulation limits (Circulations Profile), to the very configuration of how Mystic should perform. | Feeding information into these three higher level records however, is the **Mystic Expanse** - essentially, a potentially vast amount of small **foundation** data records.

+ | When you use the higher data records, such as the Circulations function, Catalogue Items or Reader Records, you do so using a dedicated Mystic Manager Dialog which is intended //just// for that purpose. To provide a dedicated editor for every type of foundation data in the Expanse however, would mean that you would need to keep track of of tens of different dialogs (possibly hundreds in the case of some Mystic licenses, where you are allows to create your own data categories in the Expanse). | ||
