Click a record to open the record's detail. The detail page of a record contains fields configured in Application Builder.

Records can have a few fields, or multiple fields, tabs, sections, and layout areas. It all depends upon how the records are configured.

You can save your record as you modify it. When you're ready to move on to another record, click the **Save** button pull-down menu and select **Save & Close**.

To modify a record, you interact with the fields within the record. Your interaction is dependent upon the type of field you are working with.

:::hint{type="info"}
 If time tracking is enabled on the application, a dialog that reports the time spent on a record will display once you save the record. The time tracking begins 30 seconds after the record is opened, so as to allow for review of the record prior to tracking work within the record.
