InfoPath with Sharepoint 2010 : Create a Master or Detail Display Form for SharePoint Lists

12/24/2011 11:12:31 AM

You can modify the display form for the Region list such that the corresponding offices are shown on the same page.

To accomplish this, navigate to the parent list and follow these steps:

1.	From the List ribbon bar select the Modify Form Web Parts button and select (Item) Display Form, as shown in Figure 1, to edit the display form page. The display form is presented in edit mode. Figure 1. Clicking Modify Form Web Parts allows you to edit the form pages. Note If you did not customize the form of the list, the drop-down will display only the default forms.
2.	From the Insert ribbon bar, select Related List and click the related list to insert the details onto the display form page, as shown in Figure 2. Figure 2. Inserting a related list adds the details to the display form page.
3.	On the Page ribbon bar, click Stop Editing to save your changes.
4.	Back in the Regions list, clicking a region opens the display form and shows the related offices, as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3. Viewing a region item displays the related offices.

Tip

If you don’t want the lookup column to be displayed (because it shows the same entry for each item), you can create a new view in the related list that doesn’t show the lookup column and edit the related list web part to use that view.
