Administer detail rows

Detail rows provide additional information about records in a list.

Before you begin

Role required: admin

About this task

To display detail rows, an administrator must enable them globally and add them to lists.

Note: Detail rows are not supported in List v3.

Procedure

  1. To enable detail rows, add a new system property with the following field values.
Nameglide.ui.list.detail\_row
Typetrue \| false
Valuetrue
  1. To add detail rows to a list, complete the following steps.

    1. Add the detail_row dictionary attribute to the table.

      Specify the name of the field to display in the following format: detail_row=short_description

    2. Use the all_tables element descriptor with the detail_row attribute to display detail rows for all child tables that contain the designated field.

      For example, all_tables.detail_row=short_description is on the Task [task] table by default, so the short description detail row appears in lists for Incident [incident], Problem [problem], and other child tables unless you set detail_row to a different field for each one.
