Considerations about editing record pages

  • By default, the details and the preview pages of a record display all the fields associated with the record.

  • You cannot add new fields for a record in the preview or details page. You must add new fields in the table view to display them in the preview and details pages.

  • You can add sections to a record preview or details page, to organize the information by common criteria and make it easier to find.

  • The following changes affect all the records of the same type and are visible to all users accessing those records:

    • Rearranging fields
    • Adding or removing sections

  • Display changes that you make in the record preview are immediately visible in the record details page. Changes made in the record page are also visible in the record preview box.

  • Adding a cover image or a thumbnail to a record is not part of the overall layout of the record preview or page. You can add unique cover images or thumbnails to each record. For information, see Add a cover image to a record and Add a thumbnail to a record.

Add sections to a record preview or page

Consider the following when adding sections to a record page:

  • There is no limit to how many sections you can have on a page.
  • You cannot have an empty section. You must have at least one field in a section.
  • You can drag and drop fields from one section to another. For more information, see the section Rearrange fields in the record preview or details page in this article.
  • When you remove all the fields from a section, the section is automatically deleted and cannot be recovered.
