After defining page layouts, assign which page layouts users see. A user’s profile
determines which page layout he or she sees. In addition, if your organization is using record
types for a particular object, the combination of the user’s profile and the record type determine
which page layout is displayed when a user views records for that object.

Types.

Click Save.
Note To verify that users have the correct access to fields based on the page layout and
field-level security, you can check the field accessibility grid. From Setup, enter
Field Accessibility in the Quick Find box, then select Field
Accessibility. From this page, choose a particular object to view and then select
whether you want to check access by profiles, record types, or fields.
