Selecting Fields when Customizing a Display Template (Administrators)

Administrators can edit Display Templates to select the fields most relevant to their needs. All Templates can be customized, and each section of a Template (Search Results Page, Details Page, Filters and Sort) can be configured separately. When you are customizing a section of a Display Template, you may wish to use the Select Fields dialog to choose which fields will appear on the sections of a template.
