Name

Title After you add a new contact record, the contact's job title displays just below his or her name.
Last modified by These fields, located below the contact's name, display the date the contact information was last changed and the name of the person who made the changes.
Click the Switch to List View icon to see the list view of the form. In this view, fields are displayed in columns in one grid on the form rather than on separate tabs. Records are displayed in each row in the grid. This makes it easy to compare and update multiple records at one time because you do not have to open individual records. To add, remove, or change the order of the columns in the grid, click to the right of the grid and use the Select Columns dialog box.

For information about selecting columns, see Select Columns for a Grid.

For more information about working in list view, see Use List View.

After you have switched to list view, click the Switch to Detail View icon to see the detailed view of the form. Detail view is the view that displays by default when you open a form for the first time; thereafter, the view that was active when you closed the application will display the next time that you display the form. In detail view, all fields are displayed on tabs on the form. The detail view is the one that is described in help topics in the Help system.
