Background

Depending on the width of the page you’re displaying a related list on, you may only have room for a handful of fields. Even with a full-width list, it’s hard for users to scan all the way across.

Key business problem

For example, below is a related list of the Grades custom object in an education org. Grades use two very different record types: Course Grade and Attendance. A course grade, not surprisingly, represents the mark a student gets in a particular class in a particular semester. Meanwhile, an Attendance record counts absences for the semester.

How I solved it

I solved this with a formula field that returns text. Seriously, that’s it.

Business results

The result speaks for itself! Instead of related lists with compromises for which fields to display, we’ve got related lists that show exactly the information users need and that fit within the width of the page layout.

Do try this at home

First, let me remind you that you don’t need to do this every time. Usually, it just isn’t necessary to write out a formula when you can just display the fields on the related list. And don’t forget that your users lose the ability to sort by a column if that column isn’t independent.
