A Display View is the primary interface for accessing and viewing an object's data. It displays fields grouped into field groups, which are configured separately and added to the view. These field groups, along with their fields, are shown in the Display View, providing a structured and user-friendly layout.
Besides displaying information, the view can include interactive features like adding comments, sending emails and viewing history, depending on its configuration.
Configuring a Display View
To create a Display View:
Open the Display Page and click Create New.

⚠️ Expand each option to learn more about its functionality.
Available to Guests
Enable this option if you want the guests to have access to the view in the portal. Guests are users who can access the portal without login credentials (neither agents nor clients).
Show State History
If enabled, it displays the object's state transition history in reverse order, showing details such as the date, user who changed the state, and state changes. Turn on this option if you want to track and view the object's state history.
State history when viewed in the client portal does not show the user column.
Click on the State History link from the display view of the object to access state history.

Attachments
When this option is enabled, users can upload files related to the objects as attachments. Click on the Attachments link from the object’s display view.
Uploading a File

Show Object History
The Object History feature logs and displays every action performed on an object, providing a comprehensive view of its activity.
Each history record includes:
Action Name: The specific action performed (e.g., edits, button clicks, trigger executions).
A brief Description of the activity.
The user who executed the action.
Timestamp when the action occurred.

Show Send Email
Enabling the Show Send Email option adds a Send Email button on the display view. Clicking the Send Email link opens a dedicated page where users can draft an email to a recipient. This page provides fields and options to customize the email content and specify recipients.
Show Email History
If enabled, the Show Email History feature displays a comprehensive record of all emails sent and received on the object.
It includes all types of email interactions:
Automated emails.
Emails received.
Emails sent directly from the object using the Send Email feature.
Additionally, you can refine the email history records using date, subject, from and to fields. A clear filter button is available at the bottom left of the page to clear any existing filters.

Show Documents
The Show Documents feature enables access to configured documents related to the object directly from its display view. If enabled, a Documents button will be available at the top of the view and click on the link to see all the available documents.
Viewing/ Downloading: Click the View button next to a document to download it to your local system.
Filtering: You can search and filter documents by their name to locate specific documents quickly.
A document is simply a template as configured. The data in the document is retrieved and populated when the user clicks the ‘View’ button.

Show Subscriptions
When enabled, this feature allows users to subscribe to specific updates or field changes related to an object. Based on their selection, they receive notifications whenever the subscribed changes occur, keeping them informed in real-time. [This is a beta feature and may not be fully operational]
Show Set Created For
The Set Created For is a system field used to assign ownership of an object to a specific user. It is highly useful for configuring triggers, actions, and filters based on ownership.
An Example: A customer support agent is creating a service request on behalf of another agent (e.g., a senior agent or team lead). The system, by default, assigns the Set Created For field to the agent creating the request. However, the ownership of the request needs to be assigned to the senior agent for proper tracking and responsibility.
This is an admin function provided for ease of configuration and troubleshooting. It should not be enabled for a process in production unless it has been specifically configured.
How It works:
Enable the Set Created For option in the display view settings.
Navigate to the Others menu on the object's display view.
Click Set Created For.
.png "image(90).png")
A dropdown will appear, listing all users in the system.
.png "image(91).png")
Select the appropriate user and click Save.

Note:
The Set Created For field can be automated using the Set Created For action.
Show Highlight and Show Unhighlight
This feature provides users with the ability to manually highlight or unhighlight objects for marking important objects or drawing attention to specific items for quick identification.
Highlight an Object:
Navigate to the Others menu on the object's display view.
Click Highlight.
.png "image(86).png")
A color picker will appear; choose a color and save.
.png "image(87).png")
The object will now be highlighted with the selected color on the view types.

Unhighlight an Object:
Go to the Others menu again.
Select Unhighlight to remove the highlight.

The highlight feature can also be configured to trigger automatically using actions. Click here to learn more automating highlights.
Hide State
The Hide State feature allows admins to control the visibility of an object's current state in the display view. When enabled, users will not see the current state in the view, providing greater flexibility in customizing what information is shared with users.

Comment Permissions
The Comments feature enables users involved with an object to communicate directly within its context. This facilitates collaboration and ensures all relevant discussions are documented. To learn more about using comments, click here.
Related Edit View
This setting lets you specify a predefined Edit View that users are directed to when they click Edit from a particular Display View. The dropdown lists all available edit views in the track. Ensure that the user role includes access to the selected edit view for this feature to work.
If the user does not have access to the default edit view specified here, TT will open the first available edit view based on the user’s role.

Title
You can choose which field to display as the title for the object. From the dropdown, you can select the Title Field, which includes all fields of type text, int, float, choice, or lookup. By default, the Unique ID is used as the title. However, if you want to display a more meaningful field, such as a name or description (even if they are not unique), you can easily configure this by selecting your preferred field.
States
By default, if no states are selected explicitly, the display view will be available to all objects across all states. However, if you want to restrict the view to specific states, you can select the states where the view should be accessible. This is a multi-choice field.
For example, if you are configuring a view to display repair information for a product, you might want this view to only be visible when the product/object is in the "repair" state. In that case, you would select "repair" as the only allowable state for the view.
Field Groups
Click + icon to add field groups you wish to include in the display view. Each field group will appear as a subsection with the group name serving as the header. The fields within the group will be displayed beneath each section.
2 Columns layout: By default, all fields are shown in a single-column layout. However, to minimize scrolling, you can opt for a two-column layout by selecting the 2 Columns checkbox.

Rearranging Field Groups: Customize the order of field groups by dragging and dropping them into the desired sequence.
Removing Field Groups: To remove a group, simply click the X button next to the field group.

Filters
Use filters to control which objects can access the display view. Click the + icon to add a filter, ensuring only objects that meet the specified criteria can access the view. If you apply multiple filters, you can combine them using AND or OR operators to refine the conditions further. To remove a filter, simply click the X button next to the filter. Filters provide a way to restrict and customize access to the display view based on object-specific attributes.

Buttons
Buttons on display views are a powerful way to streamline workflows by allowing users to take quick actions directly from the view.
For example, in a display view when an object is in the Repair in Progress state, you can add a button labeled Repair Complete. When accessed by a repair technician, they can simply click the button to change the object's state to Repair Complete.
To configure buttons:
Click the + icon to add buttons to the display view.
Rearrange the order of buttons by dragging and dropping them.
To remove a button, click the X button next to it.
