Alex Morales How to Edit the New Account page layout
I am trying to remove a section from the New Account page layout. We have data that we imported and want to show on the account details view, but not the creation page. I'm pretty sure I have to create a new visualforce page and reassign the New button to use it instead of the standard new page. Is there any way to edit the existing new account page without having to start over and rewrite the entire account page?
Alex,
The page layouts are designed to display the fields for both the View and the Edit pages. You can choose to make a fiueld read only, which will not allow your users to change thw values on the edit, but it will still have them on the edit page.
If you want to completely remove the fields, then you will have to use a VF page to override the new action as you describe.
Hope this helps
Jay
try: convert your imported data to a formula field as we know formula field can only be seen in detail view.
