4. Add fields to the display by entering Solr field names with type "string." As you type in the "Add Field" box, field names will be suggested from the index. Once a field is selected, click "Add". In order to edit the field, click Save Configuration at the bottom of the form.
   
   
   
   
5. After you add fields, you can create custom labels, choose whether to hyperlink the field values in the display, or apply truncation options by clicking the edit button next to the field. The edit button appears only after you click Save Configuration at the bottom of the form. By default, the display label will be the Solr field name. A hyperlinked field value will launch a new Solr search for other records with that same value.
   
   
   
   
6. Truncation can also be applied from the edit menu.  Truncation can be applied to separate values or an entire field.  You can specify the maximum field length (use 0 or less to disable truncation), and choose whether to attempt truncation on a word boundary and whether or not to append an ellipsis to the end of a field when it is begin truncated.
   
   
    
7. The "Description" field that shows up directly under an object's viewing derivative is configured separately from the other display fields. Enter the field and an optional label in the Description settings.

...

A content model can have more than one metadata display configuration associated with it. In this case, all fields present in both configurations are displayed, and the order of fields is determined by Solr field weightings.
