Configuring the record display properties - Security Center 5.12

You can configure how the fields of your record type are presented when a record is displayed in a tile or in the information bubble when you click a record on a map.

What you should know

After you define your record format, a default presentation is suggested. The Displayed items list should not be confused with the field list defined for your record type. The former is a list of items to display in the information bubble used to show a specific data record. Each displayed item can be a field from your record type or a custom expression.

A preview of the information bubble is shown to the right of the displayed item list.

1. In the Record presentation section, specify what you want to show as the Title and Description of the information bubble.
   For each property, specify what you want to present as one of the following:

   • A plain text
   • A field from your record type
   • A C# Eval Expression

     For example: Firstname+' '+Lastname+', '+Crimetype.

   Field names are case-sensitive. If your expression is not resolved in the preview, check the spelling of the field names.

   Tip: To view the actual fields of your record type, at the top of the page, in the Status row, click the blue link.

   
2. For each item in the list, specify the following:

   Item

   Item to display. It is either a field or a custom expression.

   By default, timestamps are converted to strings using the expression ASDATETIME({FieldName}).ToLocalTime().ToString(), which is equivalent to converting the timestamp to your local time zone and then displaying it using your Windows regional settings. The field must first be converted to a DateTime with the function ASDATETIME() because timestamps are stored in various formats, and this function converts them all to a common type for display formatting.

   NOTE: When referring to a field in an expression, you must use its field name, not its display name. The field name is the display name with all spaces removed. The field name is case sensitive.

   Name

   Label of the displayed item.

   Rendered as

   Display format of the item. Select one of the following:

   Text

   Displays the item as text.

   Image

   Displays the item as an image.

   Copy to clipboard

   Displays the item as text with a blue underline. Clicking on the text copies it to the clipboard.

   Link

   Displays the item as a hyperlink. Clicking on the hyperlink opens a web page at the desired address.

   Entity

   Displays the item as an entity: an icon followed by a name. The icon represents the type and the status of the entity. The item must contain a Security Center entity GUID. Clicking the entity name displays the entity in a tile.

   Barcode

   Displays the item as a QR barcode.

   Play a sound

   Displays the item as a Play button. Clicking the button plays the sound.

   Color

   Displays the color indicated by the text in the field. We support the most common color codes, from friendly names, such as "Red", "Green", and "Blue", to 6-char and 8-char hexadecimal codes. For example, "#FF0000FF" for blue.

   Geocoding

   If the item contains a latitude and longitude pair, displays the item as a street address. If the item contains a street address, displays the item as a latitude and longitude pair. This works only if Geocoding is enabled on at least one of your map providers.

   Tip: If your record type contains separate latitude and longitude fields, you can combine them into a single item with the expression Latitude+', '+Longitude, and use geocoding to convert it to a street address.

3. Click to add a new item to the list.
   An item can be a field or a custom expression.
4. Select an item and click to remove it from the list.
5. Validate your choices of display format in the Preview window.
6. (Optional) Click Restore default to restore the default displayed item list.
