How to configure field display?
The Field display editor tab controls where a field appears — in the records Table, in the record Card side panel, and whether it is editable there. Operators can also change column order via Columns in the table.
When you need this
- A field is needed in data but not in the row list (hide column).
- You want a convenient record form with icons and section groups.
- You need view-only in the table but editable in the card.
Key terms
- Table — column in the records table; off — field stays in filters.
- Card — field in Edit record side panel.
- Editable in panel — edit in the card (requires Card on).
- Record card groups — Accordion sections; drag fields from Unassigned fields.
- Column width, Icon — in expanded Field settings.
Before you start
Step-by-step
- Open the table → Edit → Field display tab.
- In Field list for each row:
- Toggle Table.
- Enable Card if the field should appear in the side panel.
- Enable Editable in panel if operators may edit in the card.
- Expand a row (▼) → Field settings:
- Label, Icon, Column width.
- View only in table — non-editable in the grid.
- Reorder fields by drag — order matches columns and card.
- For card sections:
- Click Add group, set Group name.
- Drag fields from Unassigned fields into the group.
- Click Save at editor level.
What happens next
The records table shows only columns with Table on. Clicking a record opens the card with chosen fields and groups.
How to verify
- Hidden columns are not in the table but the field is in Filter.
- The card shows fields in the right Accordion groups.
- Read-only fields are not inline-editable in the table.
Other options
- Temporarily hide a column — Columns → uncheck (personal; Save for filter optional).
- Custom panel — UI settings → Record view (side panel) for extra layout.
