GD Ant DesignDetail Pages display the complete data to users. Users can edit the information or do other operations.
Design Goals#

Design Principles#
Direct#

Clear hierarchy#
In order to decrease the information complexity on each page, put information in levels and groups, following the principle of proximity.
Concise#
Reduce the use of complex structures, try to use similar layouts and modules to reduce the interference of structural differences to users, and let them focus on information itself.
Typical Templates#
Basic Layouts#
Basic Detail Pages directly show all the information at the same level of hierarchy. We suggest such method of displaying data.
