If more detail is needed, each record expands to its own window to display all of the fields for the record.

The Record Detail window shows all the fields for the record in a vertical fashion and the record number in the title.

If a field is too long to fit on screen, a disclosure indicator will appear.

This then expands to show the whole field data
