Find a field: how to locate fields

When viewing, adding or editing a record in Record details View, you will discover that a record can comprise many hundreds of fields spread across multiple panels (the Object catalogue shown here has 32 panels and hundreds of fields). How then do you locate one field amongst the many?

1. In Record details View, open all panels using the button in the Record details View toolbar:

3. Type the name of the field you are looking for into the Find box.

   Words that match what you have entered will be highlighted:

   

4. Use the arrow heads in the search box to move to the next / previous instance of the word until you locate the instance you are after.
