Item pages

The details of an item, with its sidebar of panels
An item's metadata beside its sidebar
Setting What it does
Page layout Sidebar on the right · Sidebar on the left · Single column (sidebar below)
Files on item pages Gallery: one large file, with thumbnails of the others · Grid of all files · Each file at full width, one after another
Wall label A museum-style caption at the top of the sidebar: artist, title and date, medium, dimensions, credit line and number. Off by default.
Previous and next links through the item's collection On by default.
Rights & reuse, Cite this, Share Sidebar panels, on by default.
Downloads Links to each file's original, with its format and size. Off by default.
Subject and tag links The item's subjects and tags as links to other items with the same ones. On by default.
Shorten long value lists Elements with more values than this show the first few and a "Show all" button. 0 always shows every value.

The item's collection is always in the sidebar when it has one. What each panel shows, and which Dublin Core elements the wall label reads, is in Item and file pages. File and collection pages follow the same layout and panels.

Exhibits

Exhibit navigation puts an exhibit's table of contents beside each page, in a menu above it, or leaves only previous and next links. Exhibit cover shows an exhibit's cover image as a large banner with the title, beside the description, or not at all. See Exhibits.
