Updating Record Details
Generally, you can update record information if you own the record, you manage the owner of the record, or the owner grants you editing access to the record. However, you can adjust access levels to restrict or expand a user's access.
Also, for solution records, your user role must include the Publish Solutions privilege.
You can update records in the following ways:
- By editing fields inline on full List and Detail pages. Inline editing is available only on full List pages, and not filtered list pages.
- By updating the record in the Edit page. You can reach the Edit page by clicking the Edit link for a record in the List page, or the Edit button for a record in the Detail page.
Your company administrator can enable or disable inline editing in the company profile. By default, inline editing is enabled.
NOTE: Sometimes, when you edit a field inline, you may be prompted to navigate to the Edit page to complete the edit. This happens if there are further required fields that you must edit, or if there is a business process attached to the field that you were editing inline.
To update fields inline
- On the record full List page, or record Detail page, move the pointer over the field that you want to update
An edit icon appears on the right-hand side of the field. A different icon appears depending on the type of field. On a Detail page, if a field is read-only, when you rest the mouse on the field, no information is displayed. Nothing happens when you click the field. On a Full List page, if a field is read-only, when you pause the pointer on the field, information is displayed. Also, a read-only Inline Editor is displayed when you click the read-only field.
- Click the edit icon or click the field to enable the Edit mode for Inline Edit.
For some of the fields, clicking the fields is different from clicking the edit icon. If you click a Phone field, for example, the field displays a Text editor and allows you to enter the phone number directly. If you click the edit icon, it displays a Phone editor and allows the user to specify the Country, Area Code, Phone Number and Extension separately.
- Update the value of the field.
- Click the green check mark icon or press Enter to save the changes.
To cancel changes, click the red cross icon or press the Esc key.
You can also use the Edit page to update fields.
To update record details in an Edit page
- On the record List page, click the Edit link for the record, or from the Detail page click the Edit button in the title bar.
- On the record Edit page, update the necessary information.
- Save the record:
- To save this record and then open the record Detail page (where you can link information to this record), click Save.
- To save this record and then open the Edit page (where you can create another record), click Save & New.
