Web Master-Detail View
Browse a list and preview a record at the same time. No more clicking back and forth — see the full form right next to the list.
Master-detail in 25 seconds
Toggle on · pick a record · split layout opens · toolbar prev/next · kanban + form variant · mobile stack — all from a single toolbar button.
Each step is shown in detail with its own annotated screenshot further down the page.
Test this module instantly
You can explore all features using the demo account. No setup required.
Save Clicks
Skip the back-and-forth — preview records in place, in one click.
Resizable
Drag the divider to fit your screen. Width is saved per model.
Keyboard-Driven
Esc to close. Alt+↑/↓ to walk through records. Stay on the keyboard.
Zero Setup
Install and use. Works automatically on every list and kanban view.
One screen. List + record together.
Click a row, see the form preview instantly. The list stays scrolled where you left it, your filters stay applied, your selection stays visible.
One toggle in the control panel
A single button in the view's control panel turns the master-detail layout on. Your preference is remembered for each model — turn it on for Contacts, leave it off for Sales Orders. Up to you.
Find the icon, click, done
The columns icon appears in the control panel of every list and kanban view that has a form view available.
- Per-model preference saved in your browser
- Highlights when active so you always know the state
- Hidden automatically on views without a form (clean fallback)
Empty state that guides users
When the master-detail is on but no record is selected, the right panel shows a clear hint. New users immediately understand how to use it.
- Friendly icon + label
- Hint text adapts to the current layout (left/right or top/bottom)
Move through records without leaving the view
The detail panel has a clean toolbar with everything you need to navigate, expand or close — without losing your place in the list.
Built-in navigation toolbar
- ◀ ▶ Previous / Next record (respects your current sort and filters)
- ⛶ Switch between side-by-side and stacked layouts
- Expand Open the record in the standard full-screen form
- ✕ Close the preview, keep the list
Disabled buttons (e.g. "Previous" on the first record) are visually muted so the state is always obvious.
Power user shortcuts
For users who live on the keyboard. Shortcuts are smart enough not to interfere when you're typing in a form field.
Close the preview
Dismiss the detail pane and go back to focusing on the list.
Next record
Walk through the list one record at a time. Honours sort + filters.
Previous record
Jump back without breaking your scroll position.
Side-by-side or stacked — your call
Wide screen? Side-by-side. Narrow column? Stacked. Switch any time with one click; your choice is saved per model.
Vertical (stacked) layout
For records with many fields, the stacked layout gives the form the full width while keeping the list within reach.
- Drag the horizontal divider to set the height
- Settings persist per model independently of width
- Switches automatically on small screens
Same experience, kanban edition
Whether you prefer rows or cards, master-detail has you covered. Click a kanban card and the form opens beside it.
Smart on small screens
On phones, the layout automatically switches to a mobile-friendly drilldown: tap a record, see the form full-screen; back to the list with one tap.
Three steps to master-detail bliss
No configuration, no settings page, no permissions to manage. Install, click the button, done.
Install the module
Apps → search Master-Detail → Install. No data setup needed.
Open any list view
Contacts, Sales Orders, Products — wherever a list (or kanban) and a form view both exist, the toggle appears.
Click the columns icon
The list shrinks, a preview pane opens, and clicking a record loads its form. Toggle off any time with the same button.
