Frequently asked questions

Short answers to the questions members ask most about this feature.

Why did my Fields to Display change not stay?

Select Save in the toolbar after changing the fields; without it the change applies to your session only. On a locked view any member can change Fields to Display for their session, but the change is not saved and the view returns to its saved fields the next time it opens. Saving a locked or public view needs Solution Manager permission.

Which views have Fields to Display?

Grid, Card and Kanban. Calendar, Timeline, Map and Chart views display a fixed set of fields.

How do I put an image on each Kanban card?

In Fields to Display on the Card or Kanban view, select an image field as the cover image and save.
