Details View

Details view is how you engage with your content for management and editing purposes. In details view you can put text on pages, store records in form modules, add images to galleries, and much more.

Clicking on a CMS link to one of your pages (e.g., "Page 215: Contact Us") or modules (e.g., "Gallery 312: Homepage Slider") from anywhere within the CMS will bring you to a details view of the page or module in question. 

Instances of details pages are in some ways as diverse as the types of content on your website, but there are some common features that appear in details view throughout AR5.

The most essential feature of details view is organization by tabs and cards. Click among tabs to engage with different parts of the object you are viewing. 

Under each tab you may find one or more cards. Each card, in turn, contains a unit of content or a set of related information, and consists of a title bar and a body.

Note: Some tabs on details pages, such as the "records" tab on a form's details page, contain tables rather than cards.

When a tab contains multiple cards, there is often a number on the tab indicating how many cards it contains, and the cards themselves are often collapsible and/or sortable.

Click the blue disclosure arrow on the title bar of a card to open and close the card body, or the blue disclosure arrow on a tab to open and close all of the cards in that tab.

If a card contains a unit of content that is visible on your website, such as a Section module card, then the body of the card defaults to preview mode, which is an approximate representation of how your content will look on the front end. In other cases the card body will appear in info mode, containing a simple table with details of the the card’s current content. Some cards have no body at all, such as the cards under the Subpages tab in details view for a page.

If a card supports editing in place, then clicking the “edit” link in the actions area of the title bar will cause the card to enter edit mode. The title bar will change from gray to green, and the card body will be filled with editable fields. Clicking the “save” or “cancel” buttons at the bottom of the card body will return the card to preview or info mode.
