Records and Fields
A record is a group of related data organized into fields. For example, information about a contact, including last name, first name, address, and phone number, makes up a contact record. A record can appear in a list of related records, such as a list of contact records, or it can be displayed individually in a form. Figure 17 shows an example of a record in a list.
In some situations, you cannot see every field that belongs to a record. This may be because you are viewing the record in a list in which not all fields can be displayed because there is not enough room for them, or because you are viewing the record in a collapsed form. To view every field in a record, drill down on it in a list or click the show more button in the top right corner of the form to expand it if it is collapsed. For information about drilling down on a record, see Using Record Hyperlinks.
