Keys and references

A content items record references one Projects record and one People owner. Content files and rights agreements each reference content items. Content files also references the approving People record. Editorial assignments references a reporter in People. Production tasks and project costs reference Projects; production tasks also references an assigned People record. Circulation routes references content items through operational record. People references Users through User.

Keep saved list screens as views of these source tables. They provide a way to inspect and filter records; they do not add another business record to import.
