Page Comparison

Overview

Once an item 's details page is opened from a module's home page, it defaults to that item's Details tab. So this initial view of the page is called the Details page. In addition, there are other tabs containing additional fields to view and edit.

For exampleExample: If you need to view survey questionnaire results for an item or change an audit's start date, you can do that on an item's details page by following the actions in this tutorial.
