Using Related Lists: Expanded View

Using Related Lists: Expanded View

Related lists are sections on a record's details page that display associated records from other modules. For example, when you open an Account record, you'll see related lists for Contacts, Deals, Open Activities, and other modules that are linked to that account. Each related list shows you the connected records so you can review related information without navigating away.
InfoTo learn more about how related lists work and how to customize them, see Customizing Record's Detail Page.

By default, each related list displays up to 10 records at a time on the details page. The expanded view opens a related list in a full-width overlay where you can view more records, apply field-based filters, and perform mass actions on selected records, all without navigating away from the details page.

You can choose how many records to display using the Records Per Page dropdown at the top-right corner of the expanded view. The available options are 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, or 100. Pagination controls at the bottom let you navigate between pages.
