Customizing Page Field Groupings

The Pages section is for editing the groups of fields that appear on a page for the selected layout. Currently, only the User Information page supports page layout customizations.

Pages Section Overview

When a page is selected from the Page dropdown, the Groups grid will display the field groupings on the selected page. When a group is selected from this grid, the individual fields within that group will be displayed to the right in the Fields grid. Both the field groupings and the individual fields within each group can be edited to rename, delete, or reorder the fields/groups for the selected page and layout.

tip

Keyboard users can use Control [Ctrl] + Right/Left Arrow to shift focus between the Groups grid and Fields grid.
