How it works
General
Display modes component is used in three different pages of the DAM :
On the search results page for each cursors
On the board page
On the board’s detail page, when displaying assets of a board
The last display mode viewed by the user will be used for his next connection.
On the search page
4 of the 7 display modes are displayed on the main page as well as within each cursor:
Line layout
Column layout
Block layout
Square layout
The default layout is the Square Layout.
On the boards page
2 of the 7 display modes are displayed :
Line layout
Square layout
The default layout is the Square Layout.
On the board’s detail page, when displaying assets of a board
4 of the 7 display modes are displayed :
Line layout
Column layout
Block layout
Square layout
The default layout is the Column Layout.
List layout metadata
For the List layout the metadata displayed on each tile are :
On the search results main page and the cursors:
Name
Caption
Keywords
When looking at assets in a board:
Name
Photograph
Caption
Block layout
The block layout has specific behaviour, mostly with metadata like keywords. If used in a badge format, 2 properties are mandatory so the visual effect is clean.
For the Block layout the metadata displayed on each tile are the same for the search results page and on the board’s detail page (when displaying assets of a board) :
Name (on 1 line)
Description (on 2 lines)
Asset type (on 1 line)
Photograph (on 1 line)
Expiration date (on 1 line)
Since Starter-Kit 2023.3, it is now possible to configure the metadata shown in the Block layout via the DAM Configuration page. For more information, see this page, section “Metadata displayed on the block display mode”.
Additional modes
2 additional modes can be configured (not activated by default) :
Small square : No metadata overlay can be displayed on the tiles in that mode. The only action available is selection. Can be setup at the JSON configuration level.
Table : The metadata displayed as columns can be setup at the JSON configuration level.
