# Displays <small></small>
|
|
|
|
> Displays are the smaller, read-only counterpart to Interfaces, defining how a field's data will be displayed inline throughout the App.
|
|
|
|
For example, you may have a "Status" field that uses a _Dropdown_ Interface on the Item Detail page, and a smaller _Badge_ Display when the field is referenced throughout the rest of the App. Directus includes many Displays out-of-the-box, below are the some key examples:
|
|
|
|
- **Raw** — The exact value, straight from the API
|
|
- **Formatted Value** — Provides options for string formatting
|
|
- **Boolean** — Customizable True/False icons
|
|
- **Color** — A color swatch preview
|
|
- **DateTime** — Formatted or relative datetimes
|
|
- **Image** — Thumbnail previews
|
|
- **Labels** — Small, custom colored badges
|
|
- **Rating** — Customizable stars
|
|
- **Related Values** — Displays relational display titles
|
|
- **User** — Avatar and name of a system user
|
|
|
|
In addition to the included core displays, custom displays allow for creating new and/or proprietary ways to view or represent field data. For example, you could create progress indicators, tooltips for relational data, specific formatting styles, or anything else.
