# What is a page layout?

Page layouts control everything you see on the screen. Including the organization of buttons, fields, s-controls, Visualforce, custom links, and related lists on object record pages. They also help determine which fields are visible, read only, and required. Use page layouts to customize the content of record pages for your users. For more information about page layouts, check out [this](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_layout.htm&type=5) page, and if you are looking for some tips, please check out [this](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.layouts_tips.htm&type=5) page.

2. Buttons, links and actions let users interact with FieldBuddy data and with external websites and services, such as search engines and online maps. FieldBuddy includes several standard buttons and links. You can also create custom ones.
3. Details is where you’ll see all information about the account. Activity is to log calls, mails and events.
4. Related lists: The Related Record List component shows, in a list, a single type of record related to a record. For example, if you’re looking at an account, you can see a related list of contacts for that account. Members can create records from the list and from lookups.
5. The utility bar is a specialized type of Lightning page that gives your users quick access to common productivity tools, like Notes and Recent Items. It appears as a fixed footer that users can access to open utilities in docked panels. Some utilities support pop-out, which lets them open in a new browser window.
