How to Customize the Connected Records Tab on a Card
To customize the connected tab on a card, you choose which related tables appear, which of their fields show, how they are ordered, and whether users can add records from there.
Why the default panel gets ignored
A connected panel showing every field of every related table is too much information to use.
- Columns nobody needs taking up the panel
- Closed deals listed alongside open ones
- Related records in an unhelpful order
- Users adding records where they should only read
What you can control
- Which tables appear and in what order
- Which fields of each one are shown
- Read-only, locking a table against editing
- Filters, excluding records that are not relevant — closed deals, for example
- The add button, hidden when records should not be created from here
How to configure it in Jestor
- Open the Super Form editor in Jestor from the card.
- Find the connected panel and choose to edit it.
- Reorder the tables so the most relevant appears first.
- Select which fields of each table are displayed — title, client, stage, quantity.
- Set a table to read-only, apply a filter, and hide the add button where appropriate.
Why choose Jestor for card layout control?
Jestor applies the filter at the panel level, so a card can show only the related records that matter right now — open deals rather than every deal ever recorded for that client.
Read-only and the hidden add button are separate settings, which means a panel can allow editing existing records without allowing new ones to be created.
