List and detail pattern

A list + detail screen shows a list of items on one side (or top) and a form for the selected item on the other. Authors often use a List, Repeater, or table-style component plus a detail stack.

When to use it

  • Pick a record and edit its fields
  • Review submissions one at a time
  • Simple CRUD-style UIs inside a larger app

Build in Designer (concept)

  1. Add a List or repeater for rows.
  2. Add a Stack of fields for the detail area.
  3. Use Actions or application logic to load the detail when the selection changes. Advanced wiring usually needs developers.
