Decorations

Reference decorations are icons that appear next to a reference field on a form, providing quick access to related records and actions.

Four decoration types can appear next to a reference field. Each decoration serves a distinct purpose and appears under different conditions.

Reference lookup

Appears next to editable reference fields. Selecting the reference lookup icon opens a list of records from the referenced table, letting you select a record to populate the field. For more information, see Reference lookup.

Reference icon

Appears next to populated reference fields. Selecting the reference icon opens a read-only preview of the referenced record. Select Open Record in the preview to navigate to the full record. For more information, see Reference field icon.

Related incidents icon

Displays incidents related to the record referenced in the field. This decoration requires a dictionary attribute and is not enabled by default. For configuration instructions, see Configure the related incidents icon.

Show workflow icon

Appears next to a workflow field and opens the related workflow in the Workflow Editor. This decoration requires a dictionary attribute and is not enabled by default. For configuration instructions, see Configure the show workflow icon.

The reference lookup icon is visible whenever the reference field is editable. Other decorations appear only after a record is selected in the field.
