The View Summary Designer window lets you modify how an item's data displays in the [[Current View Summary Window]]. When you edit an existing view, the View Designer window presents you with a graphical representation of the selected view; all of the elements are in exactly the same positions. The [[Media:ViewDesignerAndVictimView.png | figure]] to the left shows an example.
There are two panes in the View Summary Designer window. The pane on the left displays a data tree of elements available for the selected item. You can drag elements to and from the data tree to populate your summary. On the right is the design pane, where you can add, removedelete, and modify elements. Above the design pane is a series of tabs that let you switch between pages. The pane on the left displays a data tree of elements available for the selected item. You can drag elements to and from the data tree to populate your view.
When you have finished customising the viewsummary template, you can either save it with a new name or overwrite an existing viewsummary. Whatever file you save is placed in In both cases the new version will get the View Manager window with a [[HowTo:Publish and Archive Views#View Status | status]] of '''draft''.
