Custom Display Settings

This section of the configuration contains information on how to use the custom display option.

To find the settings for custom displays, first select Custom from the Display Type drop-down menu under the Data List Options. The Custom Display Configuations will appear at the bottom of the configuration item settings.

Both a row and column template can be built and each column can be further customized by changing the Display Format in the column configuration.

Important: Creating a custom view requires strong HTML and coding skills.

Row Template

This is the HTML template that is used to wrap each row of the data list. It can be any HTML including static pieces. The best way to think of this is similar to the <tr> element in an HTML table. A {CONTENT} formatting token needs to be placed somewhere within the template. This token dictates where the columns are added to the row template. Only one {CONTENT} token is needed.
