Views

What are views

A View is a visual presentation of data from a feature. While a feature defines what data exists (columns and rows), a view defines how that data is displayed and interacted with.

The same feature can have multiple views. For example, a "Tasks" feature might have:

  • A Table view for managers to see all tasks with sorting and filtering
  • A Kanban view for the team to track task status with drag-and-drop
  • A Calendar view to see tasks by due date
  • A Dashboard view showing task statistics and charts

Each view has its own configuration — filters, sorting, grouping, hidden columns, conditional formatting — independent of other views of the same feature.

Creating a view

  1. In the Admin panel, go to Views.
  2. Expand the feature you want to create a view for.
  3. Click Add view.
  4. Select the view type from the available options.
  5. Enter a name for the view.
  6. Configure view-specific settings.
  7. Click Save.

After creating a view, link it to a rail in a module to make it accessible through navigation.

View configuration

All views share some common configuration options:
