# Add records to a related list

Add records to a related list to provide information related to the record.

## Before you begin

Role required: workspace\_user

## About this task

If there’s an **Add** button on a related list within a record's Related records tab, you can add records to related lists. Add records to a related list when you find records related to an open record.

For example, an open record documents a power outage in one location. When there's a power outage in a second location, you can add that outage's record to the related list for the first record.

**Note:** Not all workspaces or related lists have the **Add** button available. The **Add** must be added by your administrator.
