Add or Edit a Field Display Policy
----------------------------------

A Field Display Policy can be added or edited.

#. Login as provider administrator or higher.
#. Choose the desired hierarchy.
#. Choose **Customizations > Field Display Policies** to show the 
   list of existing Field Display Policies.
#. Click **Add** on the button bar to create a new Field Display Policy and
   enter a new name in the **Name** field. Alternatively, you can edit an existing Field
   Display Policy by clicking on it and editing the fields as described below.
   If the name is ‘default’, the Field Display Policy is applied by default.
   There is a unique constraint on the name of the Field Display Policy per
   hierarchy level, so the same name as the original can be used on another
   hierarchy, but a new name is needed at the same hierarchy.
   
#. Complete the following field display policy details: 

   a. Optionally enter a Description for the Field Display Policy.    
   #. Choose the model reference for the **Target Model Type** from the drop-down
      list.
   #. Click **Add** next to **Groups**, and complete the following:
   
      * Title - Enter the label text to be shown for the attribute. This is
        mandatory, and is the name that will be shown on the created tab.
      * Display as Fieldset - Select this check box to make sure that all fields
        are shown on the same page instead of a separate tab.  
      * Number of Columns - Enter the required number of columns. The fields in
        the 'Selected' area (see Fields below) will be displayed in the number of
        columns specified in this field. The default is to display the fields in
        a single column.
      * Fields - Configure the fields that will be displayed on the tab. Choose
        the fields in the 'Available' area of the screen and click **Select** to
        move them to the 'Selected' area of the screen. Fields displayed in the
        'Available' area are determined by selected Target Model Type. To adjust
        the position of a field in relation to the other fields, click on a field
        and use the **Move Up** and **Move Down** buttons.

   #. Click **Add** next to **Field Overrides** and complete the following:
