Folder Display Options

There are multiple ways to display the content of your web site. Folder display options include "summary view", "tabular view", "thumbnail view", "standard view", and "select a content item as default view" (set a home page for the folder). You will find the display options in the green menu bar when you are logged in and on a folder.

Summary View

Summary view is unique in that it includes text and thumbnail images (if images, or news items with images, are present).  Descriptions are included, as well.

Tabular View

The icons, "author" and "modified" columns are only visible to users who're logged in.

Standard view is the default display view for folder contents.  It lists all published content within the folder, with descriptions, if present. Icons are only visible to logged-in uers.

Select (or Change) Content Item as Default View

Unlike the other display options, selecting a content item allows you to choose a single piece to show in place of the folder contents. This is useful for setting a custom landing or home page.
