If the template contains a field with a geometry, a map with the geometries of the elements on the current page is shown. Preset filters for the model are shown on the right side of the page that allow filtering the shown elements (in the case of the filter by date, the filter is located at the top of the page). The table with elements allows you to select elements and perform one of the actions from the "Action" drop-down menu on all selected elements (typical actions are "Delete elements" and "Export report"), and the table columns can be sorted by clicking on the column title.

In the upper right corner is the button for adding new elements.

Edit item

When editing (or adding) an element a page is shown with the ability to enter model attributes. At the top right is a button that allows you to view the history of changes made to the element.
