Hi all, We are attempting to change the summary fields, columns, and header titles in the 'Find and Edit' using the provided documentation: https://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/DOC/How+to+configure+summary+fields https://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/DOC/How+to+change+the+columns+in+the+search+results https://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/DOC/cspace-config+Fields#cspace-configFields-mini https://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/CSPACE321/unified+collectionspace+config The cspace-config-{tenant}.xml file that is deployed in the $CSPACE_JEESERVER_HOME/lib directory provides details as to where these merged xml files exist for each record type. In our case, within: 1. application/tomcat-main/src/main/resources/defaults/ base-collectionobject.xml <https://github.com/collectionspace/application/blob/master/tomcat-main/src/main/resources/defaults/base-collectionobject.xml> 2. application/tomcat-main/src/main/resources/defaults/extensions/anthro-collectionobject.xml 3. application/tomcat-main/src/main/resources/tenants/{tenant}/{tenant}-collectionobject.xml We have made the changes, at least what we think, to both the 'base-collectionobject.xml' and the '{tenant}-collectionobject.xml' files. Even after initializing the changes by url '/collectionspace/tenant/{tenant]/init', nothing seems to change. We fail to see how, even after reading the documentation, the 'mini' field changes what is returned in the 'Find and Edit' result summary. We are looking towards returning: "Controlled Object Name", "Object Name", and "Title" for Cataloging records, only. Are we going about this the wrong way? Any suggestions and examples on how to achieve this would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, Is Controlled Object Name a field you've added? Can you share your configuration files? A warning about trying to show three fields: what you can do fairly easily is to map different fields to the "ID Number" and "Summary" columns in search results, but it's hard to add a new column. We've been doing a hack where we combine multiple fields into one, and map that combined field into the Summary column, so that we can show more information -- but it's pretty involved. You'll want to start by picking two fields. The one with mini="number" should show up in the "ID Number" column, and the one with mini="name" should show up in the "Summary" column.
