Display Fields Preferences

Use the Display Fields preferences to choose which fields to display in EndNote’s Library window. These settings apply to all libraries opened on the computer under the same User account.

To access these settings, go to the Edit menu, select Preferences,, and then click Display Fields in the list of preferences.

Select the desired field from each Field list. You may select up to ten fields to display in the Library window. To show fewer than ten fields, select [Do not display] instead of a field name.

By default, the first column in the Library window displays a File Attachment indicator followed by:

  • Author
  • Year
  • Title
  • Journal
  • Last Updated
  • Reference Type

In most cases, the column heading in the Library window is the same as the Generic name of the field. Exceptions to this rule include the Figure field, which is indicated by a figure icon fig. header and the File Attachments field, which is headed by a paper clip icon. If you would like to change the name for the Library window display, enter a new name in the Heading column next to the chosen field.

Display All Authors in the Author Field

If you would like to display all author names under the Author heading column in the library reference list, select the Display all authors in the Author field checkbox. For all new installations, this is the default setting.

If this option is not marked, only the last name of the first author will appear in the Reference List.
