Tiles

The Tiles ViewTemplate displays multiple datasets as visually structured tiles, with a layout resembling business cards. Each tile is composed of up to six EntityFields positioned in predefined areas, making this ViewTemplate particularly effective for data overviews that benefit from graphical clarity and compact summarization.

Layout and Display

Each tile consists of two primary sections:

Upper/Left Side

• iconField: Positioned beside the text; typically used for an image or icon representing the dataset.

Lower/Right Side (Vertically Stacked)

• titleField: Main title of the tile (required).
• infoTopField: Optional field displayed above the subtitle.
• subtitleField: Optional secondary label.
• descriptionField: Optional field for descriptive or detailed text.
• infoBottomField: Optional field shown at the bottom of the tile.

The layout is adaptable and can adjust based on available field values.

Tile Alignment

The visual alignment of the tiles is determined by the tilePresentation property:

• LANDSCAPE (default): Up to three tiles per row with dynamic width. Icon on the left side of the tile, text on the right.
• PORTRAIT: Fixed width layout with a dynamic number of tiles per row. Icon on top of the tile, text below the icon.

note

If a configured field has no value, the corresponding section in the tile will not be rendered. This allows flexible use of partially populated fields without leaving visual gaps.
