View mode

A set of field display options for all of the fields of a given content entity, some of which may be hidden. Each entity subtype can have one or more view modes. Example: content types (also called "node types"), typically have the "Full" and "Teaser" view modes, where the Teaser view mode displays fewer or trimmed-down fields. Site builders could add a "Micro" view mode and configure to only show a node's title and publication date. Elsewhere, the developer could create a list of nodes and choose to display each one using the new "Micro" view mode.
