Quick summary
A Salesforce related list lets you display linked child records — like Contacts or Cases — directly on a parent object's page layout, giving reps instant context without leaving the record. This guide walks through the exact steps to add a related list to a page layout using Object Manager in Salesforce Setup.
Steps
- Go to Setup using the gear icon in the top right of Salesforce.
- Search for Object Manager in the Setup menu or locate it via Quick Find.
- Pick the parent object you want to modify (e.g., Accounts).
- Click Page Layouts in the object's left-hand navigation menu.
- Choose the specific layout you want to edit (e.g., Account Layout).
- Select Related List from the layout palette components.
- Drag the desired related list (e.g., Contacts) into the Related Lists section of the layout.
- Drop the component into position within the Related Lists area to confirm placement.
- Click Save to apply your changes to the page layout.
