The Record Details component is a primary component that displays data in a business entity record. Add the Record Details component to a custom Business Entity view layout or review task layout.
The Record Details component appears in the Layout Designer after a business entity model is created in the Modeling page. When you design a layout, you can configure the Record Details component to display the information you want, such as telephone numbers, emails, and addresses. If you display multiple child records that contain large amounts of information, you might want to enable the business entity menu to help users navigate among the child records.

Best Practices for Record Details Component
Informatica recommends that you use only one Record Details component in a Business Entity view layout.
However, if you must use multiple Record Details components in a Business Entity view layout, consider the following implications:
If the set of fields for which you configure a validation or data cleansing rule are split across Record Details components, the validation and cleanse operations fail. Ensure that you configure validation and data cleansing rules for a set of fields that are within a single component.
Users need to save changes to fields within one component before making changes to fields in another component. Otherwise, changes made to the fields in the component will be lost.
