Add and configure a quick view component on a form

A main form that displays the details of a row can use a quick view component to display read-only details of a related row (lookup). The data displayed by the quick view component is defined by the quick view form of the related table. When there is no related row, such as a lookup, the quick view component is automatically hidden.

Add a quick view component

You add a quick view component in the same way as you add any other component. More information: Add, configure, move, or delete components on a form
