The Field View Mode is a module that controls the entity’s appearance on your website. This tool primarily empowers the content editors and site administrators to configure the content to be displayed on the website, without depending on the developers.

The module once downloaded and enabled will function by making a content type to appear in different view modes.

Site administrators and content editors can configure these view modes by choosing a particular set of fields to display and location on the page.

This module is particularly useful for content editors where they can view a specific content type in different ways. Example. Preview of a content type like an article can be displayed in a number of ways such as:

elaborated content, along with tags
content with no tags
content as well as image
only trimmed content, and so on and so forth.

The fields may be classified further on the basis of different formats, such as showing summary or trimmed content, responsive images, etc.

Content editors might use it for content repurposing in instances where content such as breaking news needs to be created. The content can then be reused by displaying the same bit of information as news summary or videos. It benefits the content editors as it:
eliminates the use of creating more bundles
uses the same URL, hence doesn’t impact the SEO

Site administrators have the permission to configure a particular view mode by enabling or disabling the settings through the ‘Field View Mode Settings’ button on the Field View Mode page. The administrator can enable or disable view modes available under each bundle by checking or unchecking the options. Only the selected ones will show on the website.

Note: Default view mode will not be shown in the list.

Also, if the administrator does not choose any option, then all the choices would be shown to the end-user on the website. This functionality is similar to selecting all of the choices.

If you want to disable field view mode, it is prefered to hide that field by clicking Structure> Content Types> Article> Manage Form Display and moving the field “View Mode” to the disabled section and click “Save”. This will remove Field View Mode functionality from the page and editors won’t be able to see it.
