Navigating a List of Records

Within the view you select from the Show drop-down list, you can view detailed information on a record. When records are displayed in a list, you can drill down or drill across the record to get additional details.

Drilling down occurs when you tap a hyperlink in a record and are taken to another view within the current screen. For example, if you are in the Accounts screen, and tap the Account Name hyperlink, you navigate to the details for that account. You do not leave the Accounts screen; you just move deeper into it.

NOTE:  Hyperlinks are indicated by blue underlined text as long as they are set up this way in User Preferences. For more information see Setting User Preferences.

Drilling across a record occurs when you tap a hyperlink in a record and are taken to another view in a different screen. For example, tapping a hyperlink in the Accounts column of a contact record in the Contacts screen takes you to the record for that account in the Accounts screen.

Dynamic drilldown occurs when you tap a hyperlink in a record and are taken to another screen or just another view. Where you navigate to depends on the content in the drilldown field. For example, tapping a hyperlink in the Activity field in the Activities screen can take you to different places. If you tap an Account Call activity, you navigate to the Account Call screen. If you tap a Visit activity, you navigate to the Activities More Info view.
