I am not sure even what to call this kind of screen, so searching the forums has not worked very well. I am sure I am missing something simple. Thanks in advance for the help.

That is a Classic App, so not something that is available in New Apps.

To get something similar to that, you would need a 2 column container component. Place the collection in the left column of the container. Then you would need to change the action on the collection to set a value somewhere, and then use a relation and lookups to potentially retrieve the detail values for each item. It’s possible, but would require a bit of setup to achieve.

Just be forewarned that this kind of setup could eat through your update counts quickly if a user is signed in.

I guess I would be more inclined to only showing the collection, and then use an overlay or slide in to show the details when clicked.
