Display fields - Plugixa Team

A member carries many fields. This panel decides which of them a given view puts on screen.

Why it is per view and not per member

Because the same person belongs on an internal directory with a phone extension and on a public page without one. Storing the field once and choosing its visibility per view is what avoids keeping two versions of everybody.

It is also how a layout stays itself

Switching layout does not automatically trim the fields. A table with a long bio turned on is a table with one enormous column; an inline strip with skills on wraps into something that is no longer inline. When a layout looks wrong, this panel is usually the reason.

Short bio and long bio

Two separate fields on the member, so a dense layout can show the short one and a card the full one without truncating mid-sentence.

What to do next

Shortcodes.
