Need better way to present data from linked tables in the Viewer

I am working on a building permit status map where permits (mapped as points in my map layer) have data links to 3 non-spatial SQL tables for reviews, conditions and inspections. There is a one to many relationship between permits and each of these 3 data links. The data links work but the presentation leaves much to be desired in the viewer. They don't show up in the Results Table (which I was really hoping for, in separate tabs). They appear in the Details when looking at data for a permit but the presentation is lacking. They are simple black hyperlinks that all bear the permit number; not very descriptive since a single building permit may have multiple reviews, conditions and inspections.

I don't see an out of the box way to make this better. Is a report my only option? Any suggesions? I am running Essentials 4.6.1 and GVH 2.7.2. The url to my development site is :

After some additional research I think I found what I needed. I modified the defaultViewMode in the viewer's desktop.json file to show the expanded view by default instead of the compact view. The presentation of the linked tables is much nicer now.

"moduleName": "FeatureDetails",
        "moduleType": "geocortex.essentialsHtmlViewer.mapping.modules.FeatureDetails.FeatureDetailsModule",
        "configuration": {
          "defaultViewMode": "expanded",
          "viewModes": {
            "compact": {
              "viewId": "FeatureDetailsCompactView",
              "defaultProviderTargetRegion": "FeatureDetailsCompactViewRegion"
            },

Erick,

Did you create the icons you are using or did you source them from somewhere else? Just curious because we'll be tackling a similar permitting site shortly and I've been looking for ideas to suggest--ranging from the simple (colored dots) to the detailed (graphical icons).

Sorry for the slow response, Brian. I got my markers from Map Icons Collection (https://mapicons.mapsmarker.com/) .
