Elementum provides comprehensive tools for displaying and managing relationships between records. This guide explains how to customize the display of related records on detail pages. The Related Items Widget is your primary tool for displaying related records. Here’s how to use it:
  1. Navigate to your record detail layout settings
  2. Add a Related Items Widget (appears full-width)
  3. Configure the widget settings:
    • Widget Name: Give it a descriptive name
    • Select Aspect: Choose which relationship to display
    • Sort Order: Define how records are ordered
    • Additional Filters: Add conditions to filter related records
    • Rows per Page: Set how many records display at once
    • Display Columns: Choose which columns appear in the table

​
