    The Mobile App Builder categories home screen displays.

3.  Select the **Screens** category, and then select the record screen for which you want to configure a details screen.

4.  In the Record Screen form, scroll down to the **Record screen segments** area, and then select **New**.

5.  In the **Create a record screen segment** dialog box, select **Record screen segment**, and then select **Continue**.

6.  In the Record Screen Segment form, scroll down to the **Embedded screen** area, and then select **New**.

7.  In the **Create a screen** dialog box, select **Details**, and then select **Continue**.

    **Note:** The available fields that can be configured on a details screen form are determined by your organization's mobile UI rules. For more information, see [Mobile UI Rules](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/mobile/mobile-ui-rules.md).

Fetch type

</td><td>

Settings that determine when data is loaded in your screens. Select from the following fetch types:

-   **Prefetch**: This option pre-loads record screen data when an end user accesses a list, calendar, or record screen.
-   **Background**: The app makes a background network request to load embedded screens or record screen segments.
-   **Dynamic prefetch**: Screens for the first 10 rows load as described for the **Prefetch** fetch type. After the 10 first rows load, additional rows of screens load with the **On-demand** fetch type.
-   **On-demand**: The app sends a network request to load the app only when end users navigate to it.
 For more information about fetch types, see [Mobile fetch types](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/mobile/applet-fetch-types.md).
