Note: To extend the application set of pages for households, use the Household object in Application Composer.

Households Landing Page

You can modify the Households landing page, also referred to as the Households list page. For example, you can hide standard household fields or show custom household fields. To modify the Households landing page:

  1. Navigate to the Household object in Application Composer.

  2. Select the Pages node.

  3. On the Application Pages tab, click Edit Summary Table for Household.

Create Household Page

You can modify the Create Household page. For example, you can hide standard household fields, make a field required, add a default value, and show custom household fields. To modify the Create Household page:

  1. Navigate to the Household object in Application Composer.

  2. Select the Pages node.

  3. On the Application Pages tab, under Creation Page Layouts, duplicate the standard layout to create a new layout to edit. Or, edit another existing layout.

    To enhance runtime usability for your end users, optionally group custom fields into field groups.

Note: Custom fields that you add to the Household object and then select for display in a page layout appear on the Create Household page, before the address set of fields.

Edit Household Page

The Edit Household page consists of multiple subtabs that display along the left side of the page. You can modify most of these subtabs. For example, you can also add custom subtabs to display records from child or related objects.

To add custom fields to certain subtabs available from the Edit Household page, you must first navigate to those subtab target objects in Application Composer to create the fields. After creating the fields on the target object, you can then navigate to the required details page layout for the Household object to add those fields to the relevant subtabs.

To modify the Edit Household page:

  1. Navigate to the Household object in Application Composer.

  2. Select the Pages node.

  3. On the Application Pages tab, under Details Page Layouts, duplicate the standard layout to create a new layout to edit. Or, edit another existing layout.

  4. When making changes to the Edit Household page, select the subtab you want to change first. The following subtabs are available from the Edit Household page. Use the following subtabs to configure which standard and custom fields display at run time.

    The changes you make to these subtabs are unique to the Edit Household page. For example, the changes you make to the Opportunities subtab on the Edit Household page are not reflected on the Opportunities subtab on the Edit Contact page.
