Every standard module has a set of default Related Lists. For example, the Account record shows Related Lists for Contacts, Deals, Activities, Cases, Emails, and Attachments. Each Related List can be expanded to view all related records, and new records can be created directly from the Related List without leaving the parent record.
When a Lookup Field is added to a module pointing to another module, a Related List is automatically added to the target module’s layout. This means custom relationships created via Lookup Fields are automatically visible as Related Lists, building a navigable record network without additional configuration.
A Related List is a section at the bottom of a CRM record that displays linked records from another module. It shows the relationships between records, such as all Deals associated with a Contact or all Activities logged against an Account.
Yes. Related Lists are managed in the Page Layout editor. Administrators can show or hide specific Related Lists, change their order, and configure which columns are displayed in each list.
