Cumulus lets you look at your records in various ways. For example, you can change the size of the thumbnails using the slider in the main toolbar. Or you can quickly switch between views using designated buttons: from the Thumbnail View, which is the default, to e.g. the Details View or the Report View
Each of these views presents specific subsets of the information stored in the records, and each of them presents it in a specific way. Which of these views you use in your daily work depends on your tasks and your personal preferences.
Which information exactly is presented in any given view, and in which order, is defined in so-called Record View Sets. The View Set specially designed for the Sample Catalog is “Show Case”.
The currently applied Record View Set is displayed in the right-most field in the top bar of the Record pane and can be changed via the attached list of Record View Sets:
Try switching between views and View Sets to see the differences between them:
1. Toggle between different views by clicking the respective buttons – – in the main toolbar.
2. Change the current View Set by selecting a different one from the Record View Set list.
3. Again, toggle between different views.
4. Finally, switch back to the Show Case View Set and the Thumbnail View.
See the difference? Each View Set provides a specific flavor with regard to the kind and the amount of information that is displayed, but also with regard to background colors, fonts, thumbnail size, etc.
Record View Sets are highly configurable, but they are usually in the responsibility of the Cumulus Administrator. If you have questions or proposals concerning the View Sets to which you have access, contact your Cumulus Administrator! Beyond that, you’ll find all about Record View Sets in the Cumulus online help.
