Add an existing detail on a record page
You can add an existing detail as an element on a record page. An “existing detail” is a detail, registered in the Detail Wizard. Learn more about creating and adding new details to record pages in the “Create new detail” article.
Case
Display a previously created custom “Request for Equipment” detail on the record page of the custom [Requests] section. Learn more about how to add and configure a section in the “Add a new section” article.
To add a detail on a section record page:
1.Open the needed section, e.g., the [Requests] section.
2.Click [View] > [Open section wizard].
3.In the [Section pages] block of the Section Wizard:
• if you have only one edit page in your section, click [Edit page]
• if you have several edit pages in your section, click the link of a corresponding page in the list (Fig. 1)
4.Open the tab where the detail should be located, e.g., the [Equipment] tab.
5.Click [New detail].
6.Populate the detail settings window (Fig. 2):
a.In the [Detail] field, select the detail you want to add to the page from the drop-down list.
b.In the [Caption on the page] field, enter the detail name that you want to display on the record page.
c.In the [Detail column] field, select a detail object column by which the detail records will be filtered. This is a lookup column that uses the current section object as a lookup. Usually, the name of this detail column corresponds to the section object name. For example, to connect the [Request Equipment] detail to the [Requests] section, in the [Detail column], select [Request].
Note
If the detail object can be connected to the section object by one field only, the [Detail column] field will be populated automatically.
d.In the [Object column] field, select the column of the section object, whose value will be used to filter the detail records. Usually, this is the [Id] column. This way, the detail will display only records, whose value in the [Request] column will match the value in the [Id] column of the current section record. In other words, only the equipment linked to the current request will display in the detail.
7.Click [Save] -> [Section Wizard] in the top left corner -> [Save] on the Section page in the Section Wizard.
As a result, a new [Request Equipment] detail will be added on the request page.

To change the settings of a detail or to edit the detail name displayed on the record page:

5.Select the needed detail and click (Fig. 3).
Note
Modifying a detail title on a page via the [Caption on the page] field will affect only the current section.
