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
- Open the table → Edit.
- On Field display, enable Card for fields that belong in the record panel.
- In Record card groups, click Add group.
- Enter Group name (e.g. Contact details).
- Drag fields from Unassigned fields into the new group.
- Add more groups the same way; group order = Accordion order.
- Click Save in the editor.
- 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.
