Vitalware provides four different views for displaying your record data:

  • Details View

  • Contact Sheet View

When in Details View, the Thumbnails option can be toggled on / off from the View menu. If selected, the Summary Data field expands to include a thumbnail of any associated multimedia.

List View

Displays a list of matching records. This is the default view when you first run a search.

List View displays only a few fields. It is possible to create your own List Views, specifying which fields to display and to select which List View to use.

In any of the four views, select the Shortcut option to display one or more fields and their values in a pane on the left side of the module window.

Changing how the results of your search are displayed is a simple matter of selecting one of the Record display view buttons in the Tool bar.

Note: By default the results of a search are displayed in List View the first time you run a search in a session. Subsequently, the results of a search will display in the last view selected. In other words, if you change the view from List View to Details View and run another search, the results will be displayed in Details View.
