Who created/is viewing a record

See who created or last updated a record in its footer, and who is viewing or editing it from the binoculars icon.

Written by Peter Novosel

An open record shows who created it and when in its footer, and after the first change it shows who last updated it instead. The binoculars icon in the record header shows who else is viewing the record, and Grid View shows the name of a member who is editing a cell.

How do I see who is viewing the record?

This section also covers what the Who's Viewing a Record article described; that article now points here. Members viewing the same record are shown in the record header. When someone else is there, a binoculars icon with a number appears; select it to list the members, and select a name to open their profile preview.

How do I see who is editing in Grid View?

In Grid View, a cell someone else is editing is highlighted in color and shows that member's name above it. Clicking into a cell does not highlight it; the highlight appears as content is added or changed.

Important: Fields are not locked while someone edits them. Grid View saves a cell when the member leaves it; changes are applied in the order they are saved, and the last save sets the value of the field.
