When your data set record is displayed throughout the account interface, it will frequently be referenced by the Record Name Column. When you create a data set, this defaults to the internal record id, which is guaranteed to be unique and exist for each record. If your data set includes other columns that are marked as unique and required, they will be shown in this list and you can use that column as the record identifier. A common example is if each of your records has an email address attached to it, it can be nicer to see the record displayed with the email address instead of the record id number, as it is more descriptive.
