Which do you use to display all detail records on a master table's form?

Using a report link field is essential for displaying all detail records associated with a master table's form. A report link field specifically enables users to connect and pull in data from a related table, which is particularly useful when you want to showcase all records that relate back to the master record being viewed.

When set up correctly, a report link field can present a comprehensive view of all related detail records within the context of the master record. This feature allows users to efficiently access, view, and interact with the relevant data without navigating away from the master table's form. This capability enhances usability and ensures that all pertinent information is readily accessible.

In contrast, reference proxy fields serve to display values from a related record without creating a direct link to all those records. Lookup fields retrieve specific values from related records based on a defined relationship but do not create a list of all detail records. Summary fields, while useful for aggregating data from related detail records, do not display all details — they summarize information instead. Therefore, a report link field is the most suitable choice for showing all detail records associated with a master record in Quickbase.
