starting point for master details objects

If you want to show the rows in your child object filtered by some attribute of thier parent (accounts) – I’d reccomend making your model on the child object.  The condition builder can go through the relationship field to the parent object and select any field there. 

This will also work if you are trying to do aggregations of that child object data. 

Hi Rob,
Thank you for your reply I really appreciate it.
What if I want to display data from both parent and child objects? Do you think I should start with parent?
Thanks

So.  If you want a list of children - with parent data shown on every line (even if the parent value is repeated),  Start with the child. 

Child 1 - Parent Value 1 Child 2 - Parent Value 1 Child 3 - Parent Value 2 

But if you want to show unique child values by parent (so you only see each parent value once)  start on the parent and then include the children as “child records”.  This will give you a table row for each parent value. 

Parent Value 1   -   Child 1 Child 2 Parent Value 2 - Child 3
