About Forms in the User Interface

When you drill down on a record in a list, you see a form, as shown in Figure 18, that contains data for the record you selected. A form contains the data for one record.

If you have authorization to edit the information in a form, you can make edits directly in the form. Step off the record to save any edits you make. All required fields appear in the form and appear with an asterisk.

NOTE:  In some cases, there is also a long form, which you can access by clicking the show more button. For examples of the show more and show less buttons, see About Show More and Show Less Buttons in Lists.

About Record Navigation Buttons in Forms

The record navigation buttons, highlighted in Figure 19, are located at the top right of each form. Use them to navigate between records. When you use the record navigation buttons in a form, you are navigating to the next record or the previous record.
