In-Page Overlay
📊 Show All Data Guide
What It Does
Show All Data is a floating panel that opens on any Salesforce record page and displays
every field on that record — including hidden fields, system fields, and custom fields you
might not see in the standard layout. Search, filter, inspect field values and metadata, and
inline edit updateable fields without switching context.
Why Use It
-
See All Fields — Salesforce record layouts are customized per user.
Show All Data shows literally every field on the record, regardless of layout.
-
Find Hidden Fields — System fields, metadata fields, and custom fields
hidden in collapsible sections are all visible here.
-
Inline Edit — Double-click any updateable field to edit it directly, no
form navigation needed.
-
Search Fields — Searching for a field? Find it faster than scrolling
the layout.
-
Lookup Navigation — Click a lookup field to navigate to the related
record and build a breadcrumb trail.
-
On-Page Access — No popup window. The panel stays on the page, so you
stay in context.
How to Access
On any Salesforce record detail page, use one of these methods:
-
Floating Button — Click the "Show All Data" button on the right (or
left, if you configured it) edge of the page
-
Sidebar Shortcut — Click "Show All Data" in the TrackForcePro sidebar
-
Keyboard Shortcut — Press your configured shortcut (default:
unassigned, but you can set one in Settings)
-
Command Palette — Press Ctrl+K (Cmd+K on Mac) and type "Show All Data"
The panel appears as a slide-over on the right side of the page, displaying all record
fields in a searchable table.
Field Inspector Table
The main area shows all record fields in a table with these columns:
| Column |
What It Shows |
| Field Name |
The field's label and API name (e.g., "Account Name", "Account__c") |
| Value |
The current value for this record. Click to copy to clipboard. |
| Type |
Field data type (Text, Number, Date, Lookup, etc.) |
| Metadata |
Additional details: updateable status, required flag, field length |
Interaction with Fields
- Click a value to copy it to your clipboard
-
Hover over a field name to see full field details (label, API name,
type)
-
Lookup fields are clickable — Click a lookup field value to navigate to
the related record
Search & Filter
Find specific fields quickly using the search box at the top of the panel:
- Type field name (e.g., "BillingCity") to filter results
- Search is case-insensitive — "billing" matches "BillingCity"
- Real-time filtering — Results update as you type
-
Search by label or API name — Both work (e.g., "City" or "BillingCity")
Pro Tip: If you know a field's API name but not its label, search by API
name. Conversely, search by label if you remember the human-readable name but not the API
name.
Inline Field Editing
Edit updateable fields without navigating away from the record. Double-click any updateable
field to enter edit mode:
How to Inline Edit
- Find the field you want to edit in the Show All Data table
- Double-click the field's value cell
- An input field appears with the current value
- Edit the value (type-aware: text inputs for text, checkboxes for booleans, etc.)
- Press Enter to save, Escape to cancel
Field Type Support
- Text, Email, Phone — Text input
- Number, Currency, Percent — Number input
- Date, DateTime — Date picker
- Boolean (Checkbox) — Toggle checkbox
- Picklist, MultiPicklist — Dropdown selection
- Textarea — Large text area for bulk text
⚠️ Per-Org Control: Inline edit can be disabled per-org in Settings →
Inline Edit Permissions. If disabled, fields show as read-only (no double-click edit).
Lookup Navigation & Breadcrumbs
Navigate across related records using lookup fields. The Show All Data panel maintains a
breadcrumb trail of your navigation path.
How to Navigate
- Find a lookup field in the Show All Data table (e.g., "Account Name")
- Click the field's value (the linked ID or record name)
- Show All Data loads the related record and adds it to the breadcrumb trail
- The breadcrumb at the top shows your navigation path
- Click any breadcrumb link to jump back to a previous record
Breadcrumb Trail Example
Contact: [Alice Smith] → Account: [Acme Corp] → Parent Account: [Acme Global]
Use Case: Investigating a contact record, you see they're associated with
an account. Click the account lookup to navigate to it. See it has a parent account? Click
that lookup to navigate further up the hierarchy. No back button needed — just click the
breadcrumb to go back.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Double-click to inline edit — It's faster than opening edit mode or
navigating to a separate edit form.
-
Search for hidden fields — If you know a field exists but can't find it
in your layout, use Show All Data search to locate it.
-
Check system fields — Show All Data includes system fields
(CreatedDate, LastModifiedBy, etc.) that aren't in layouts. Useful for auditing.
-
Copy values quickly — Click any field value to copy to clipboard.
Useful for copying IDs, emails, or other values for pasting elsewhere.
-
Navigate lookup chains — Use breadcrumbs to jump between related
records. Much faster than clicking navigation links in Salesforce.
-
Assign a keyboard shortcut — Go to Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts →
"Toggle Show All Data" and assign a shortcut (e.g., Ctrl+Shift+A). Then you can open
Show All Data instantly without clicking.
Power Workflow: Open Show All Data → Search for field → Copy value or
inline edit → Click breadcrumb to go back. No layout navigation, no edit forms, no context
switches. Pure efficiency.
