{% trans %}Goal{% endtrans %}

{% trans %}Configure the formatters used to display the fields of an entity sub-type, their order in the display, and the formatter settings. See Managing content structure for background information.{% endtrans %}

{% trans %}Steps{% endtrans %}

  1. {% trans %}Navigate to the page for managing the entity type you want to add the field to. For example, to add a field to a content type, in the Manage administrative menu, navigate to Structure > Content types.{% endtrans %}
  2. {% trans %}Find the particular sub-type that you want to configure the display of, and click Manage display in the Operations list.{% endtrans %}
  3. {% trans %}Use the drag arrows to order the fields in your preferred order.{% endtrans %}
  4. {% trans %}Drag any fields that you do not wish to see in the display to the Disabled section.{% endtrans %}
  5. {% trans %}In the Label column, select the position for each field label in the display, or - Hidden - to hide a label. You can also choose - Visually Hidden- if you want the label's text to appear in the HTML page, so that screen readers and search engines can read it, but it will not be visible.{% endtrans %}
  6. {% trans %}In the Format column, select the formatter for displaying each field.{% endtrans %}
  7. {% trans %}After selecting the desired formatters, click the settings gear in each row to change the settings for the formatter.{% endtrans %}
  8. {% trans %}When you are done making changes, click Save.{% endtrans %}
  9. {% trans %}Test the display for your entity sub-type by viewing an entity. If needed, return to these steps to further refine the display.{% endtrans %}
