Customizing how results display
Overview
The add-on allows administrators to customize how search results display. You apply customization options to tables configured to use the add-on. When a user performs a global or dataset search, they will see the customized results in the All tab and when viewing individual table results.
Each search result can display up to five lines of information. You can determine the:
order in which each result line displays.

When adding or editing an entry, you can configure the following:
Type: The type of information displayed on the line.
Label: This option is only available when you specify Custom in the Type field. You can select a combination of data model elements that make up the label.
