View Toolbar
When designing views, you use the toolbar to configure controls and cells. The toolbar changes depending on what you have selected, and allows you to do things like create labels and controls, bind and unbind controls, change controls, configure expressions, change the style or format of a control, insert rows and columns, merge cells and more.
The Control Toolbar
The following toolbar options are available when you select a control:
The List View Settings icon is available when designing a List view.

When designing a view and clicking on the Create Labels and Controls toolbar button, the design applied to the current view is reset and a new table with controls added using the default settings. If you want to be able to revert the view back, save or finish the view. The Create Labels and Controls button can then be executed and if not satisfied with the results, cancel to revert back to the saved version.
