Use this interactive demo to learn how to configure a related list on a Salesforce page layout.

Quick summary

Adding a Related List in Salesforce lets you display linked records directly on an object's page layout, improving data visibility for your team. This process is completed through the Object Manager and Page Layouts settings in Salesforce Setup.


Steps

  1. On your dashboard, click the gear icon in the top-right menu.
  2. Select Open Advanced Setup.
  3. Click Object Manager on the top-left menu.
  4. Choose an object (e.g., Account, Contact, or Opportunity).
  5. Select Page Layouts.
  6. Choose the layout you want to edit.
  7. Scroll to the Related Lists section.
  8. Drag the desired related list into the layout below.
  9. Once done, click Save.

📌 Why this matters

Adding a Related List in Salesforce lets teams view and manage associated records — such as contacts, cases, or opportunities — directly on a parent object's page, eliminating the need to navigate between multiple records. This Salesforce page layout customization reduces manual lookup time and keeps all relevant data in one place, boosting CRM efficiency. For sales and service teams, related lists surface critical relationship data instantly, supporting faster decision-making and more informed customer interactions. Mastering this setup through Salesforce's Object Manager and Page Layouts is essential for any admin looking to optimize their org's user experience.
