Understanding the Item View
The way in which various types of fields and related information is displayed when viewing an item is as follows:
User Interface Component
Description
Header
The placement of information in the Header is as described here:
* 
This placement is not based on the presentation template definition of the types.
Item ID: Displayed on the top left corner of the Header area along with the as of date details.
Description or summary of the item: The description that appears in the Item View is the value of the field in the item that is provided for the property MKS.ItemTitleField of that item type.
* 
Only Short Text fields are supported for the property MKS.ItemTitleField.
Item creation and modification details: Displayed below the Item ID. These details include the full name of the user who created and modified the item. The date and time of the item creation and modification is also displayed.
User Name: The username (in brackets) is displayed next to the full name of the user.
Type of item: Displayed on the top right corner of the Header area.
Tabs
The sequence of tabs in the Item View is based on the sequence defined in the presentation template. These tabs contain item data by field type. For example, Relationships, Change Packages, Attachment, and so on.
You can see only four tabs at a time in the Item View. Any additional tabs are displayed in the More Tabs list after the fourth tab.
Section
The sequence and grouping of fields in a section are maintained from the presentation template. However, the placement of a field in the Item View may vary from its position in the presentation template.
For example, in the presentation template grid, consider fields F1, F2, F3, F4 appearing in a sequence where:
Fields F1, and F2, are Integer fields and are placed one after the other.
Field F3 is a tabular field and placed after F2.
Field F4 is again an Integer field placed after F3.
The placement of the above-mentioned fields in the Item View is as follows:
Fields F1, and F2, are places in two equal-sized tiles as they are Integer type fields.
The field F3 is placed below F1 and F2 and consumes an entire row as it is a tabular field.
The field F4 is placed in a single tile below F4 as it is an Integer type field.
A group section heading in the Item View is taken from the display name of the Text Style with the prefix PTCWCRVS in the presentation template. You can also add the prefix PTCWCRVS to any existing text style and customize the display for the section heading. For more information, see topic Configuring the Presentation Template.
