Select specific row in a only read component in an interface

You can build a custom interface and/or call the record dashboard interface directly from your site if you don't want other views exposed by default (for this you'd reference the interfaces directly rather than having the user click through to the actual record entry). For everything else my main recommendation is that you just experiment and see what compromise works best for you.

Because i want some related actions in the first page and some other in another pages, not all the action in the same page. And the record i work on it it's the same, so i don't think it's a wise idea to duplicate it. Any suggestions? Because in this way i see the 2 interfaces together in the details, as shown here.

thank you, the related action appears now in the interface. Another question, if it's not a problem: now i configured 2 different views for the record, as shown below. But i want to have one of them for a singol page for my site and the other one for another page, in the same website. How can i do that?

That's a very large subject. A related action ties to a process model (consuming whatever context you pass in, usually at the very least passing in the current record and/or the record's identifier), and inside that process model you can do anything you want, attended (as in, taking the user to some task(s) to complete), or unattended (automatic, happens in the background only). I don't happen to know how much you do or don't already know about process modeling, or what-all you want to accomplish with the process in this case, so it's hard to really say. The configuration, though, is pretty simple, because it requires only that you correctly configure a related action.

If you're not an Admin user in your environment then there's a good chance the process model configured for the action in question doesn't have security set up properly to allow you permission (though i'm surprised you'd be able to see it in the first place). If it's not that, then it's likely some other configuration issue, any of which would probably be fixed by following basic configuration steps (others here have already linked you to the documentation with the basic fundamentals).

A related action can literally include anything you'd have in a process model. Judging by what can be "created automatically" here is not very useful.

Yes, you can.

You have various options. Record Actions (assuming your grid is showing Record Data, which seems to be the case in your example) provide some of the biggest flexibility, since you could have the action open in a dialog if you'd like. Other options include using a!startProcess or a!startProcessLink, depending on what desired behavior you're after - it would be trivially easy to have either of these options start a process utilizing the ID from the selected row(s) from the grid.

Hi all, thanks for the reply. I know about related action, but they are very limitated, at least that one that i can create automatically(create, delete, upload a recordtype). I want something more complex: for example select a row, start a process, update/reallocate some field for the recordtype and then delete the row from the interface. Can i do all this thing with a singol action?

You should be able to do that with a Record Action.

Here are some UI examples:

This is the purpose why Related actions are created. You can create a logic to only select one row at a time in the grid and add the related action to your grid (only visible when any row is selected) in which you will pass the current row identifier.
