You can change the details on section pages and add existing details to a page. An “existing detail” is a page element that has been created and configured in the Detail Wizard. Learn more: Create a detail to add it to a record page.

Add an existing detail to a record page.

Example. Display the out-of-the-box Activities detail in the custom Requests section.

Note. Learn more about creating and configuring a section in the Add a new section article.

To add a detail to a section page:

  1. Open the relevant section, e. g., Requests.

  2. Click View → Open Section Wizard.

  3. In the Section pages block of the Section Wizard:

    1. click Edit page if you have only one edit page in your section

    2. click the link to the relevant page if there are several pages in the section (Fig. 1).

  4. Open the tab where you would like to place the detail. For example, Processing.

  5. Click New detail.

  6. Specify the detail settings in the dialog box (Fig. 2):

    1. In the Detail field, select the detail to add to the page.

      Note. If the relevant detail is not available, the object you would like to use might not be registered as a detail yet. Use the Advanced settings section to check if the detail schema and related configuration elements exist. If not, create the detail. Learn more: Add a detail based on an existing object.

    2. Use the Title field to specify the detail’s title to display on the page.
    3. Use the Where detail column field to specify the detail object’s column to filter the detail records. This is a lookup column that uses the current section’s object as a lookup. The name of this column usually matches that of the section object. For example, select “Request” in the Where detail column to connect the Equipment request detail to the Requests section.
    4. Use the Equals to page column field to specify the section object’s column to filter the detail records. Normally, this is the Id column. That way, a detail will only display the records where the value of the Request column matches that of the current section record’s Id column. In other words, the detail will only display the equipment connected to the current request.

      Note. If the object can only be connected to the current section’s object via a single column, Creatio populates the field with the value of that column.

  7. Click SaveSection wizardSave.

    As a result, a new Activity detail will be added to the request page.
