Adding or editing a detail display

A detail display controls the way that information about a specific library item appears to patrons. You can customize the item information that is presented to your patrons by creating or editing the detail display associated with specific profiles. A detail display allows you to control the search target that is used, the language in which the information is presented, the information fields that are available to display to the patron, and how the library item information is to be sorted.

When you create or edit a detail display, you must refresh the Discovery administrator database metadata cache in the Discovery server application. For more information, see Refreshing the search cache.
