Changing Your Detail Page Layout

Users can personalise the layout of the related information sections on the Detail page for a record type if the Personalise Detail Page - Related Information privilege is enabled for their user role. For step-by-step instructions for personalising related information layouts, see Personalising Related Information Layouts.

Users can personalise the field layout on the Detail page for a record type when their user role is set up as follows:

  • The Personalise Detail Page - Fields privilege is enabled for the role.
  • A custom page layout is assigned to the role for the record type.

The personalised field layout that a user creates for the Detail page for a record type is also used for the pages where the user edits records of that record type. Depending on how the user's role is set up, the user's personalised field layout might also be used in the pages where the user enters information for a new record. For step-by-step instructions for personalising field layouts, see Personalising Field Layouts.

About Accessing the Personal Layout Pages

If your user role allows you to personalise your Detail page layouts, then you can access the Personal Layout pages for a record type through the Edit Layout link in the Detail page of a record of that record type. You can also access the Personal Layout pages for the record-type Detail pages through the global My Set-up link. Depending on the privileges that are enabled for your user role, the behaviour is as follows when you access the Personal Layout pages to personalise a Detail page layout:

  • The Personal Layout page opens if your user role includes any two of the following privileges: Personalise Detail Page - Fields privilege, Personalise Detail Page - Related Information privilege, or Personal Detail Page - Records Indicator privilege.

    On the Personal Layout page, there are three links, as follows:

    • Field Layout. This link opens the Personal Layout - Fields page, where you can personalise the field layout for the record type.

      NOTE: The Field Layout link is available on the Personal Layout page only if a custom page layout is assigned to your user role for the record type. If the Standard page layout for the record type is assigned to your user role, then the Field Layout link is not available.

    • Related Information Layout. This link opens the Personal Layout - Related Information page, where you can personalise the layout of the related information sections on the Detail page for the record type.
    • Manage Record Indicator. This link opens the Personal Layout – Record Indicator page, where you can set up the related information sections so that indicators are displayed to show whether any records are present in the sections.
  • The Personal Layout - Fields page opens directly if your user role includes the Personalise Detail Page - Fields privilege but does not include the Personalise Detail Page – Related Information privilege or the Personal Detail Page - Records Indicator privilege.
  • The Personal Layout - Related Information page opens directly if your user role includes the Personalise Detail Page - Related Information privilege but does not include the Personalise Detail Page - Fields privilege or the Personal Detail Page - Records Indicator privilege.
  • The Personal Layout - Records Indicator page opens directly if your user role includes the Personal Detail Page - Records Indicator privilege but does not include the Personalise Detail Page - Fields privilege or the Personal Detail Page - Related Information privilege.
