How do I choose and reorder the fields shown on a record?
Updated October 19, 2026
The details pane of a record lists its fields. You can hide the ones you don't use and put the important ones first. This changes only your own view, for every record of that object.
Step by step
- Open a record and click the ••• menu at the top right of its details pane.
- Choose Fields.
- Under Visible fields, tick or untick a field to show or hide it, and drag a field by its handle to move it. Each change is saved right away.
Good to know
- Your choice is saved per person and per object: People, Companies, Deals and each custom object have their own list. Teammates keep theirs.
- The record's name always stays at the top of the pane, and Created and Updated are not in the list.
- The order everyone starts with is the field order of the object, set in Settings → Records: open the object and drag its fields. Owners, Admins and Managers can change it, and it applies to the whole workspace. Once you've changed your own list (moved or hidden a field), your order wins, and new fields appear at the bottom of it.
- A field marked Hidden in the object's settings is hidden for everyone and doesn't appear in Visible fields.
- The sections of the Overview tab are arranged with Edit instead: see How do I rearrange the sections of a record's Overview?.
FAQ
I hid a field. Is its value deleted?
No. Hiding a field only takes it off your details pane. The value stays on the record.
Can I set the order for my whole team?
Yes, in the object's settings, as above. Teammates who have already changed their own list keep their order.
