Detail pages are pages on which you enter data for a new item, such as a transaction, reference data item, or message. These pages are also used to provide you with a detailed view of an item appearing in a listing page. Detail pages can be editable or read-only, depending on your security rights and the status of the data in the page.
See an example of a detail page.
The following table provides information on working with information displayed in detail pages. Not all actions are available in all detail pages, as indicated in the activity description.
