You can create a detail frame using the detail frame template.
To create a frame using the detail frame template

2. Click File, New, User Frame.
The Create User Frame dialog appears.
3. Enter the component name in the Name field (for example, My_Detail_Frame).
4. (Optional) Enter a comment for the component in the Remark field.
5. Select mastdetl from the Application list and the detail template from the Template list.
6. Click Create.
The Select a Parent Frame dialog appears.
7. Specify the detail frame's parent frame by selecting an application and a frame from the Application and Frame list fields, respectively, and then click OK.
The Select Database Object dialog appears.
8. Enter the name of a detail table in the Detail field of this dialog.
For more information about using the control button to the right of the entry field to specify a table, see Table Selection Dialog.
9. Click OK.
The Frame Assistant appears.
10. Click the join icon in the query display area.
11. Before generating the detail frame, you must define one or more join columns between the two tables. Then click Insert to create a join.
A line is drawn between the two columns indicating the join.

The detail frame is created and displayed in the Frame Editor.
Note:  An Open Row and an Open List button are provided in the detail section of the frame in the Frame Editor. They will appear in the running frame only if the detail frame is selected as the parent frame for either an explosion or a detail frame (see Create an Explosion Frame (see Create an Explosion Frame)).
14. (Optional) Specify the frame's properties using the Property Inspector. For example, set the IsResizeable property to TRUE.
