2. The search and paging to find a specific item you want to see in the preview. To find a specific content item search for the content's id which is shown in the content detail view URL bar e.g. id:cb20faba4e3342d9a9f83191deeec115

3. The preview will give you a preview of the Display Pattern (you must have at least one content item filled out with the values in the Display Pattern for a preview to display).

4. You can add fields of the schema easily by clicking on them. Each field will be added with a liquid tag checking if the field is not empty and the liquid object which is the field.

5. Layers are only necessary for the Virtual Type Display Pattern. The fields will be the virtual type fields and additional metadata fields from layers will be available in this section.

6. Languages allow you to add a different Display Pattern per Metadata language. If you only update the default language this will be used in all other languages, the values are always translated if translations are available.

   1. Hint: Adding languages makes only sense if you use static text in the Display Pattern which then not be translated.

7. The JSON preview shows the detailed data structure of the current item you are previewing and all the available objects you have for the Display Pattern.

Limitations

• For security reasons, we do not resolve Javascript.

• When you update metadata or content, the Display Patterns are updated. You don't see Display Patterns change while viewing content.

• Children do not inherit display patterns from their parents. For example, you cannot set display patterns for all file types on FileMetadata. The display patterns that you do set here will take hold for any content that is a File Type content but does not belong to AudioMetadata, DocumentMetadata, ImageMetadata, VideoMetadata e.g. for a .css file.

• Display patterns do not take permissions into account. They are pre-calculated and are not bound to user permissions. Display Patterns should therefore be optimized for your general audience and not the super admin.

• Please avoid using Picturepark icons in HTML or CSS. Currently, material design icons are treated as fontfonts, so any CSS font styling works for icons too (e.g. color or size).  Icons will be replaced in one of the next releases which will break all icon implementations. 

• No Picturepark does not support for HTML and CSS in Display Patterns e.g. in the list views the HTML will be not interpreted and displayed as text.
