You can also switch from the detail view to the editor by clicking on the small edit icon in the upper right corner. Once you are in the sidebar editor, you can switch to the full screen editor by clicking on the expand button in the upper right corner.<\/p>\n\n To use the group editor, you must first select two or more records of the same object type.

Whenever a field requires a user to select from a list, you can – if you have the appropriate permissions – edit a record in the list by right-clicking on it and selecting \u201cEdit Record\u201d from the options.<\/p>\n\n Usually the editors consist of 4 parts:<\/p>\n\n This article describes the different ways to edit existing records.
