A display template is used to show information from a record in the database (see GIF movie below).
 
For each table, one or more display templates can be created, to show the information in a preferred way.
 
 
The display can be connected to the link-fields in the summary template. For example the Country field in the GIF movie below.
 
For each (linked) table in the summary a display template is needed to show the details of that (linked) record.
 
The information in the display template can be either shown in a pop up or on a new page.
 
 
 
 
 
The designer section of the templates management will now be opened and items can be placed on the display template.
 
 
Hover the mouse on top of any of the numbers below to see detailed information.
