A record identity is the subset of a record type’s fields, which uniquely identifies that record type. For example, a bank customer record type might have 15 different fields, but its identity might use only social security number and account number. Or a book record might have ISBN as its identity.

Fields that are already part of an identity are marked with green icons. Existing record types (annotated with (existing) labels in the tree) cannot have their identities adjusted in the wizard (you cannot remove identities or add new ones here). If you want to adjust identity settings on an existing data set, then you need to do it using the Data Repository editor (as described in Specifying Record Identities).
