Hi all..

What is the best way to show more than a few record types? For example, lets say an application has below record types and related record types.

  1. Organization
  2. Customer
  3. Address
  4. Product
  5. Flyer
  6. Point Programs
  7. Point Credits
  8. Discounts
  9. Orders
  10. Order Items
  11. etc. etc. I'm just making up record types that may be related to each other in some imaginary business

Now, given that Appian has 5 tab limit on a Site, how do we expose these many entities in a site if I have to?

Hello tarunb0231,

You would not require multiple tab in site to show your records.

You can create a common interface with multiple tabs in it. There are many patterns available in the interface. 

You can use dynamic links and call your interfaces with record data on selection.

Here's a sample
