The "Show Record Details Window" Action displays a window that lists every field and value for a selected record. It is typically the deepest level of a visualization that the User can drill down into. In certain cases, a record may have many attributes and it cannot be predicted ahead of time which fields will be of most interest to the end-user. By viewing the Show Record Details Window, the User can view all of the attributes of the record.

If the User clicks the Copy To Clipboard button in the Record Details window, AppBoard will copy all of the field names and values for the currently displayed record to the clipboard.


Sample Use Case

Many applications log extensive detail related to incidents or events. Although much of this data would not be relevant in a visualization, the data can be available for a User to view in the Show Record Details Window, should it be needed.
