Quickbase always identifies the record you're working with in the heading of the form used for viewing or editing records. By default, the following items make up the Edit/View Record form heading:
-
The noun used to identify records in the table (for instance, Contacts, or Tasks)
-
The value of the Record Name field (default: key field, usually the record ID)
For instance, when you edit a contact record, the heading on the Edit Record form might be EditContact 1483.
You may want to display a contact’s name on the Edit Record form, rather than the Record ID. For instance, you may want the heading of the Edit form to read Edit John Doe. You can customize a table's properties and choose the Contact Name field as the Record Title.
To change the record title:
-
Choose a table from the sidebar.
-
Click Settings from the page bar, then click Advanced settings. Or, hover over the table name in the sidebar and select the three dot menu.
-
Click Identifying Records to expand the section.
-
In the Record Title section, select This field, then select the field you want from the list.
-
Click Save.
