Side Panel
A side panel is a panel on the right side of the form that you can use to see details about any record you select from a list of records. Some data entry forms also provide a side panel that you can use to view additional information about the selected record.
A side panel may have only one tab with a form related to the selected record, or it may have multiple tabs, each showing a different type of information related to the record. You can view a tab in the side panel by clicking its icon. The set of icons on the side panel of a list of records can be different from the set of icons shown on the data entry form (see the screenshots below). Thus, you can view additional information related to a record at various points in your work with the record.
You can close the tab by clicking 
in the upper-right corner of the
side panel. For details about side panels, see Side Panels on Forms.
