# Display

In the **"Display"** tab you control how a device is presented in the nomos app. Here you can set the status display, show or hide elements, rename them, change their order, and choose which elements appear in the screensaver.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** The "Display" tab is disabled when the **"Display Device in Apps"** option is turned off on the device page. For multimedia devices, the display is managed automatically by the app – no manual settings are required here.
{% endhint %}

## Status Display

The status display determines which element of the device is shown as the main status on the device tile in the app (e.g. the current temperature for a thermostat).

* Use the dropdown to choose the desired element.
* Only elements that are marked as visible in the **Elements** list are selectable.
* If the currently selected element is hidden, the status display is reset automatically.

## Elements

In the **"Elements"** section you manage the individual mappings and properties of the device as they appear in the app.

### Visibility

* Each element can be shown or hidden via a checkbox.
* Hidden elements do not appear in the app but remain available for automations and scenes.
* Some elements are already hidden by the device profile (e.g. internal helper values) and remain hidden by default.

### Naming

* Use the input field next to each element to assign a custom name.
* The original name from the device profile is shown as a placeholder.
* Leaving the field empty resets the name to the default.

### Display Order

* Use the drag handle to the left of each element to change the display order via drag & drop.
* The chosen order is applied in the app.

Click **"Save"** to apply changes to visibility, names, and order.

## Screensaver

In the **"Screensaver"** section you choose which elements of the device appear in the app screensaver.

* Activate the checkboxes for the desired elements.
* Changes are applied immediately – no separate save needed.
* Only mappings that are suitable as status information are offered.

## Reset to Defaults

The **"Reset to Defaults"** button resets all customizations of this tab to the device profile values:

* Visibility of all elements
* Custom names
* Display order
* Status display

Elements hidden by the device profile remain hidden. The screensaver setting is not affected by the reset.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://documentation.nomos-system.com/nomos-system/integrator-en/devices/app-display.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
