Underview Fields
Underview fields are shown on a record view page beneath the other fields in a record, as a table. They show fields from a linked record in another database, for example the Persons database.
When you choose the Underview Fields option in the Configurator, then select
a database, screens as shown in the following examples, will appear:
Persons
and Places. Please note: each example screen will open a new
window, when you have finished and wish to return to this page, use the cross in
the top right corner to close the window.
Two pages are shown for each database, the first one is to configure Underview
fields for Archive record types, the second is to configure Underview
fields for Museum record types.
Underview Fields can be added, removed and their order changed in exactly the
same way as Record Fields, described here.
The following paragraphs describe the options shown underneath the
destination and source lists, with some guidance for input.
