Customizing Cumulus : Record View Sets : Adding a Field to a Record View
   
Adding a Field to a Record View
To add a field to one of the views:
 
1. Select  Cumulus /  Edit > Preferences.
2. Click Record View Sets.
3. Under Set, select the View Set you want to edit.
4. Click the icon of the view to which you want to add a field.
A list of fields that are shown in the selected view is displayed.
5. Optionally: select the entry of the field after which you want to place the new field. If no entry is selected, new fields will be added at the bottom of the list. (A field’s position can be adjusted anytime with the buttons on the right side.)
6. Click Add.
The Add Fields to View window appears, providing two tabs:
• The Fields tab, displaying a list of all fields contained in the catalogs of the active collection that are not yet included in the view.
• The Modules tab, displaying the nodes: Catalogs, Modules and Languages.
– The Catalogs node expands to a list of all catalogs open in the active collection. Clicking the plus sign in front of a catalog’s name displays all fields contained in that catalog, but not yet included in the view. Either select the name of a catalog to add all contained fields, or select the individual fields you want to add.
– The Modules node expands to a list of all Cumulus modules that provide fields. Clicking the plus sign in front of a module’s name displays the fields supported by the respective module but not yet included in the view. Either select the name of a module to add all fields supported by that module, or select the individual fields you want to add.
– The Languages node expands to a list of all languages configured for string field values. Clicking the plus sign in front of a language name displays the fields that support values in the respective language, but are not yet included in the view. Either select the name of a language’s to add all respective fields, or select the individual language-specific fields you want to add.
Additionally, all language independent fields that are not yet included in the view are listed and can be added.
7. Select the field(s) you want to add.
8. Click OK to add the field(s) to the list of shown fields.
9. Click OK or Apply. Your changes take immediate effect.
TIP: Copying/Replacing The Fields From Another View
You can copy the fields included in one view to another view of the same Record View Set or you can replace all fields. Select the icon for the view you want to have the same fields as another view and use the alternate (right) mouse button to open a context menu. Select first the desired function and the view from which you want to copy the fields.
