Since we already created the fields beforehand you will start out this way. (See video.) You would scroll down the fields that you created. (If it is a long list you can type the field's name and it will bringing it up to you.) It asks whether you'd like to show the field in the admin list view. [00:32:56](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdSKSCTzmRA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h32m56s) That means that there is a list of names if you close your editing area; if you want that specific field to show up in this list you'd select 'show'. If you select 'show,' you can set in which order you want this. (See video.) [00:33:18](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdSKSCTzmRA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h33m18s)
In Joomla the title and alias concept is quite interesting. [00:33:41](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdSKSCTzmRA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h33m41s) It's needed, especially if you want to do history control or integration with Joomla's infrastructure when it comes to their history and tagging systems. You need to add a title and an alias to all your views, especially if it is a view that is going to be used in the front. [00:33:59](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdSKSCTzmRA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h33m59s) In this case, since we are going to use preachers in the front to display a list of preachers, we are going to add a title, using the name as the title. Back to the back end. There you can set if you want this 'sortable' or 'clickable;' you can click on this, and it sorts the table alphabetically on the basis of this column. (See video.) [00:34:30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdSKSCTzmRA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h34m30s) Do you want it to be searchable? Do you want someone to type into this box and show only a specific field? [00:34:51](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdSKSCTzmRA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h34m51s) The filter option is a tricky one. You don't want to set name to filtering because then it will show a list of all the names that are already being shown in the table. You only want to use filter on things like a radio box, another view, or fields that aren't being displayed one after the other in the table. [00:35:19](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdSKSCTzmRA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h35m19s) I added no extra fields in sermondistrubutor, but at sermons I added preacher. There's a list of all the preachers here, through which you could sift a chose which to show here or not. The way that you set up the filter is by clicking yes or no here. If you are setting up a custom field and in the display of the list have it clickable, this link is used. [00:36:12](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdSKSCTzmRA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h36m12s) For example: I can click here and go to that preacher. I click close and then I'm back in the sermons list view. I could click on series and it will take me to the series; I can edit the series immediately. I click close and I'm back in the list view. We usually use the name to be the clickable title. If you select your title here and click link then you're saying that this field item here is what we should use as the clickable option to open that sermon. (See video.)

Since it is so easy to change, you can study this concept. Just click a button here to compile your component, install it, look at its behavior, change it a little, compile it, install it, look at its behavior. By doing that you would get a good understanding of what happens if you change these switches here.

**Fields Title**
That is how you add fields to a view and those are all the different switches. You can only have one title per view and only have one [00:41:39](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdSKSCTzmRA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h41m39s) alias per view. You should not have more than one selected. In any case I think the system will ignore the others but just to be safe set the others to no. And then those that are actually the title to yes, and the one that's actually the alias, to yes. And so we will be able to be sure to use the correct field values. And then when you set any of these to show, you should set the order of their display here, and there is the filter. The filter then is added dynamically by simply clicking a yes here. If we go to sermons as an example, and we click on their fields they have many more fields which will help to illustrate some of these things. And you'd see that we have sermon series and we have it set up as a filter. Filter is the second last column. [00:42:43](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdSKSCTzmRA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h42m43s) Sermons series, let's see we set that to yes, so that means we can sort this sermons by series that is how you set the filters for the back end. Remember this is primarily for the back end. Although some of that information will relate to the front eventually, especially this permissional switch will be able to access it from the front if you need to. But this is simply to add the fields to the actual view in the back end. If you have any questions about this please give me a heads up if you feel like I haven't done a good enough job explaining this, then let me know and I'll redo this video. So that's adding fields to the admin views.
You can only have one title per view and only have one alias per view.
