Managing Record Indicators for Related Information Sections

If your user role has the Personalize Detail Page - Records Indicator privilege, then you can set up record indicators for the related information sections on record Detail pages. The record indicators allow you to see whether any records are present in a related information section, without opening the section. Your administrator can also configure the record indicators for the Detail pages for the record types at role level. If you do not personalize the record indicator settings for a record type, then the settings that are configured for the record type for your role are used. For information about the behavior of the record indicators, see About the Record Indicators for Related Information Sections.

NOTE: The related indicator functionality is not supported for the Attachments related information section on any record type, or for the User List related information section on the Division record type. In addition, the functionality is not supported for custom Web applets.

To personalize the record indicator settings for a record type, complete the steps in the following procedure.
