There are two types of details in the mobile application:

  • embedded details display all their records on the section record page regardless of the amount of data on the detail (Fig. 1);

  7. In the detail setting window:

    1. Select a detail to add.
      Some of the existing details are designed for specific sections. Be sure to select the version of a detail whose name specifically indicates that the detail was designed for this particular section. For example, when adding the Attachments detail to the Contacts section page, select the “Contact’s attachments” detail.

    2. Specify the detail title.

    3. In the Detail column field, select the column that connects detail records to the current record in the section. For example, records on the Attachments detail in the Contacts section are connected to the Contacts section by the Contact column.

    4. In the Object column... field, specify the column – section identifier. By default, it is “Id”.

    5. Save the detail setup parameters.

      As a result, a new detail will be added to the section page. For some details, the default columns may not be configured. In this case, you must add the displayed columns manually. Adding columns to a detail is similar to adding columns to a section page.
