Access and manage the quick view control properties of a form
This topic applies to Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises). For the Power Apps version of this topic, see: Configure a quick view component
A quick view control on a custom business app form displays data from a record that is selected in a lookup on the form. The data displayed in the control is defined using a quick view form. The data displayed is not editable, but when the primary field is included in the quick view form, it becomes a link in the legacy web client app to open the related record. It is not an actionable link in a Unified Interface app. More information: Create and edit quick view forms
You can access Quick view control properties in solution explorer. Under Components, expand Entities, expand the entity you want, and then select Forms. In the list of forms, open the form of type Main. Then on the Insert tab, select Quick View Form to view the Quick View Control Properties page.
