Work with the three panes

Keep your category, record list and selected details together while you review work.

Guide reviewed 14 September 2026 · Controls depend on your app version and access.

Before you begin

Open a record-based app such as Orders. Narrow screens may collapse a pane; the information remains part of the same workflow.

Orders: categories, record list and selected details in three panes
Orders: categories, record list and selected details in three panes · Actual product screen. Select to view full size.
  1. 01Navigate on the left

    Choose the category or saved view that describes the records you need. Categories can represent different states, so note which one is selected before comparing totals.

  2. 02Find in the middle

    Search or scan the current list. Select a row to inspect it. If the list loads in pages, an item not yet loaded may not be included in a local search.

  3. 03Review on the right

    Read the selected record’s identity, customer, amounts, status and related information. Use the actions available for that record rather than treating the list row as the complete record.

  4. 04Move without losing context

    Select the next record from the list. Keep the same category while reviewing similar cases, or change the category deliberately when the question changes.

Check the result

You know both the selected record and the category it belongs to; you can move between records without starting over.

If something does not look right

If no details appear, select a row. If the list is empty, clear search and check filters, company and permissions before assuming the data has disappeared.
