How to enable hierarchical list in a related list


3580 Views Last updated : Apr 7, 2024 public Copy Permalink
KB Summary by Now Assist

Issue

A hierarchical list allows a related list to have the option to show child records associated with the parent.  This can be useful to see all related records to a parent record in one view instead of having to drill into to each individual record.

 

Release

Kingston, London, Madrid

 

Resolution

  1. Go to a related list where you would like to enable hierarchical list
  2. Right click on the column header to bring up the context menu and go to Configure -> List Control
  3. In the List Control Form, find Hierarchical lists check box, check it and update the record
  4. Now on the related list, you should see a black arrow that will allow you to see all child records

Note: You can also turn on the hierarchical list on the child's records so you can see those children.  Follow the same steps as above.
