# Displaying fields from an Options page

{% hint style="info" %}
An **Options Page** is a centralized settings area that stores custom fields. Unlike fields on regular pages, values saved on an Options Page are available site-wide and often displayed in the header/footer.

Advanced Views supports Options Pages created with both the ACF and Meta Box plugins.
{% endhint %}

In Advanced Views, [*Layout*](/advanced-views/getting-started/first-layout.md) embedding happens using native WordPress shortcodes. Each *Layout* has its own unique shortcode that can be pasted into any location, regardless of the theme, editor, or page builder you're using. 

Shortcodes also support arguments, allowing you to customize the behavior of the same entity in different contexts.

## 1. How to display fields from an Options page

1. [Create a new *Layout*](/advanced-views/getting-started/first-layout.md)
2. Add any fields
3. Save the *Layout*, copy its [embedding shortcode](/advanced-views/layouts/embedding-shortcode.md)
4. Add the `object-id="options"` argument
5. Embed *Layout*: paste the shortcode inside the target place

{% hint style="info" %}
If you made your option page using Advanced Custom Fields, you should use the `options` keyword for ANY options page.\
\
If you made your option page using the MetaBox plugin, you should use the ID of your options page in the argument.
{% endhint %}

#### Shortcode format

To load fields from the options page, the *Layout* shortcode should contain at least 3 arguments:

```bbcode
[avf-layout name="Name" id="651d5d75bfdf2" object-id="options"]
```

1. `name` argument - used for clarification purposes only and doesn't play any functional role. 
2. `id` argument - associates the shortcode with a specific *Layout*.
3. `object-id` argument - with `options` value for ACF, and `YOUR_OPTIONS_ID` for the MetaBox plugin. 

{% hint style="success" %}
You can also use the common [*Layout* shortcode arguments](/advanced-views/layouts/embedding-shortcode.md) to additionally customize this *Layout* embedding, e.g., limiting its visibility for specific user roles.
