    Record summary layout components

    1. Record picker element - The record picker element allows users to click a drop-down menu to find a specific record to view or interact with. Users can also search for a record by keyword. 
    2. Field elements - Similar to the Record review layout, the Record summary layout allows you to toggle on and off the display of fields coming from the source table you've connected to the layout. The main difference with this interface layout is that the record list element is not included. This gives you more space to display more field information. Learn more about adding and removing elements in this support article.
    NOTE
    Any of the components listed above can be customized during the initial layout setup or at a later time by clicking on the individual element in Edit mode.
