Detail rows provide additional information about records in a list.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

To display detail rows, an administrator must enable them globally and add them to lists.  
Note:  
Detail rows are not supported in List v3.

## Procedure

1. To enable detail rows, [add a new system property](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/r_0P5ICBCd42vTv64UVY9w#t_AddAPropertyUsingSysPropsList "Add or create a property to control system behavior.") with the following field values.  

   |-|-|
   | Name | glide.ui.list.detail_row |
   | Type | true \| false |
   | Value | true |
   [ ]

   {#t_EnableDetailRows__table_esm_jyw_j1b}
2. To add detail rows to a list, complete the following steps.
   1. Add the detail_row [dictionary attribute](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/W62P_HvztvVqWYI5duwoKQ "Dictionary attributes alter the behavior of the table or field that the dictionary record describes. Administrators can add or modify dictionary attributes.") to the table.  
      Specify the name of the field to display in the following format: <kbd class="ph userinput">detail_row=short_description</kbd>
   2. Use the all_tables element descriptor with the detail_row attribute to display detail rows for all child tables that contain the designated field.  
      For example, all_tables.detail_row=short_description is on the Task \[task\] table by default, so the short description detail row appears in lists for Incident \[incident\], Problem \[problem\], and other child tables unless you set detail_row to a different field for each one.
