Improvements to asset/log display
Improvements to asset/log display
The current default display of assets/logs is simple, placing fields in a two column display. When many fields are populated on an entity there is a wall of information that is difficult to parse out. Additionally, some fields like entity references (log w/ many assets) and files or images can take up a lot of space. The default view can be improved in various ways:
- Use tabs to group related fields together:
- Similar to tabs in the edit form, this isolates logically related fields
- Decreases the overall height of the display when fields take up lots of vertical space
- Improve the rendering of specific field types:
- Long entity reference (log asset reference w/ > 5 references
- Condense image + file renders
Update: continuation from work in P1: #162 (closed)
Identified that tabs will be challenging to implement in a non-form display. So investigate technical requirements + options for improving display:
- How to alter view display, similar to form display approach?
- New templates vs field formatters vs render elements to group fields together?
- Continue optimizing specific field formatters
