+DISPLAY FORMAT TEMPLATE SYSTEM SPECS
+
+Display format (aka name display format) templates are used to customize what is shown in minimal display areas in order for a user to identify a record uniquely
+for selection purposes.
+
+Raven will rely much more heavily on this for several reasons so it needs to be a solid integral part of Raven
+
+CASES
+
+
+
+REQUIREMENTS
+
+Client
+    - Main grid lists will be very narrow and in many (if not all) cases show only a single column
+    - Selection drop down boxes in forms for selecting other objects
+    - Template editor under global settings for all main list objects
+
+Server
+    - List of templates with their column selections
+        - For client editor
+        - For server to process what the query and send for lists
+
+    - List of fields available for templates
+    - 
+
+
+TO BE DETERMINED
+    - How will it actually work
+    - Does the client or the server compose the field based on template?
+        - Bandwidth considerations
+        - Server load considerations
+        - Server latency considerations
+        - Client power churning through a big list considerations
+    - DB objects and server objects and routes
