The following patterns include usage of the Record Link Component.
Configure a Chart Drilldown to a Grid (Charts, Grids, Query Data, Records): Displays a column chart with aggregate data from a record type and conditionally shows a grid with filtered records when a user selects a column on the chart.
Filter the Data in a Grid (Grids, Filtering, Records): Configure a user filter for your read-only grid that uses a record type as the data source. When the user selects a value to filter by, update the grid to show the result.
Top Customers and Their Latest Order (Records, Reports, Grids): This pattern illustrates how to create a grid that shows the top paying customers, their latest order, and their total sum of sales.
