Custom Display settings

While we have only been working with the Default and Teaser displays, we are not limited to these two View modes. We have the flexibility to choose additional View modes that best fit our site building needs.

If we tab back to the Manage display page and click on the Default display link, we can locate the Custom Display Settings section at the bottom of the page. Expand the section and we will see additional View modes that can be enabled.

We also have the option of creating new modes that will appear in these options by clicking on the Manage view modes link.
