Views
A view is a group of controls, typically bound to a SmartObject, that allow you to enter or change data. Most views that you build will be based on a primary SmartObject, but can include data from other SmartObjects. A view can be unbound or you can include unbound controls in your view.
A form is a container of one or more views, and you can configure the views on the form to share data and allow data to be captured, edited, and displayed, with many options to validate the data, and style the controls and background.
You can create the following types of views:
- Item view - Allows you to capture, edit, and display single records
- List view (display only) - Allows you to display lists of information (multiple records)
- Editable List view - Allows you to display and change lists of information
