Personalizing Related Information LayoutsIf your user role has the Personalize Detail Page - Related Information privilege, then you can create a personalized layout of the related information sections on the Detail page for a record type. The related information sections show the different record types that can be linked to the selected record. For example, notes and activities are related information that can be linked to opportunities or contacts. Your company administrator determines the type and order of the related information sections that appear on each Detail page by default. You can change the order of the related information sections or hide any related information sections that you are not using. Changing these settings affects only your view of the application. NOTE: If your company administrator removes the Personalize Detail Page - Related Information privilege from your user role, then you cannot personalize the layout of the related information sections on your Detail pages. About Static and Dynamic Detail Page LayoutsDetail page layouts can be static or dynamic. When static page layouts are used, you see the same page layout for all records of a given record type. Dynamic page layouts allow your company administrator to specify different page layouts for different records of the same record type, depending on the value that is selected in a specific picklist field on the record. You can personalize both static and dynamic page layouts. About Changes to Default Page Layouts After Personalized Related Information Layouts Are CreatedYour company administrator can update a static page layout or any of the page layouts used in a dynamic layout at any time. After you create a personalized layout of the related information sections for a Detail page for a record type, any changes that the company administrator makes to the availability of related information sections on the default page layout are not immediately reflected in your personalized layout. What Happens If Related Information Sections Are Added to the Default Page Layout?Your company administrator might add new related information sections to a default page layout for a record type for your user role after you create a personalized layout for the record type. If that happens, and if you want to add any of the new sections to your personalized layout for that page, then you must first reset your page layout to the default layout. You can then use the default page layout or create a new personalized layout that includes the new sections. What Happens If Related Information Sections Are Removed from the Default Page Layout?Your company administrator might remove related information sections from the default page layout for a record type for your user role. If any of the sections that the company administrator removes from the default page layout are included in your personalized layout for that page, then those sections continue to be available in your personalized layout until you remove them from your layout or you reset your layout to the default layout.
