Related Record View - SuperCROSS
Like Record View, Related Record View lets you retrieve records. However, with Related Record View you retrieve records of only one record type at any one time. You can then view records, of another record type that are related to the records you have retrieved, by selecting one or more of the retrieved records and clicking the Related Records toolbar icon.
For example:

- You can then select one or more cells in the resulting Record View dialog and view fields from the Account records for the relevant customers.
