How to create a record card field group?

In v2, groups for the record side panel are created inline on the editor Field display tab — there is no separate Groups page. Group in table metadata is a different entity (category in the table list).

When you need this

  • The record card has many fields and you need sections.
  • You want logical blocks: Contacts, Address, System data.
  • You need Accordion instead of a long flat list.

Key terms

  • Record card groups — Accordion sections in Edit record side panel.
  • Unassigned fields — fields with Card on that are not in a section yet.
  • Group (metadata) — Group on Model metadata; sorts tables in the menu, not the record card.
  • The old Groups section redirects to the editor: group management moved to the model editor.

Before you start

Step-by-step

  1. Open the table → Edit.
  2. On Field display, enable Card for fields that belong in the record panel.
  3. In Record card groups, click Add group.
  4. Enter Group name (e.g. Contact details).
  5. Drag fields from Unassigned fields into the new group.
  6. Add more groups the same way; group order = Accordion order.
  7. Click Save in the editor.
  8. Verify: open a record — the side panel shows sections with fields.

What happens next

Opening a record shows grouped Accordion sections. Ungrouped fields appear as a flat list or under Other.

How to verify

  • Named sections appear in the record card with the right fields.
  • Fields with Card off do not appear in the panel.
  • Groups persist after reload.

Other options

  • Set table Group in Model metadata — for Custom Data models list navigation, not the record card.
  • Create a table category via Create group in the model list when you need a new menu category.
