Hi Raman,

 

In order to get the custom field of Company object on lab, I wouls suggest you to create a Formula field on Lab object that takes the value from Company Name custom Field.

 

Once this field is there, you can then create a custom list view and display the Company Name on the Labs list view.

 

Hope this helps!

Hi Raman,

 

I understand that you have two objects : Company and Lab and they have a lookup relationship between them(on Lab)

 

When you are on the Labs Object - you can create a new list view where you should be able to select the fields from the Company Object.

have you tried this?

 

Hope I have understood your setup and requirement correctly.

Thanks for reply Sonam but my requirment is like Generally we use to see the Name filed in the listview if we have any relation of that object to other means If I have Lab object has relation with company so I am able to see the Name filed of company in the lsit view but the field (Name ) is my ID like CompanyId, I don't want to show the ids of Company I want to show CompanyName which is custom field. I guess now it clear to you.

 

Thanks and Regards
