Customizing Gallery Views

You can change the layout of any Catalog Gallery view. This allows you to display precisely the information you want to see, including the information in any custom fields that you have created.

To customize Gallery views:

  1. Choose “Customize...” from the View menu, or press Command+D (Mac OS) or Ctrl+D (Windows), or click the Customize button on the Toolbar.

    The Customize Gallery dialog will open to the tab associated with the current Gallery view.

  2. Select the options you want.

    The view options are described in the table below.

  3. If you are going to modify any of the other Gallery views, click “Apply” to apply the selections to the Gallery window without closing the Customize Gallery dialog box.

  4. When you have finished selecting options, click “OK” to apply the changes and close the dialog box.

    Note: Click “Save Defaults” to save the current settings as the default layout for each Gallery view. The layout will then be used for all new Gallery windows displayed in each view.
