Views
The view editor allows the developer to create any number of different views. Views show only the fields the developer selects, can filter records so that only those that match a specified field value are displayed, and can be set to display to only certain application Roles.
An App Designer can access the Views Dashboard, where they can create and edit App Builder views, by clicking on the Views button from the left side navigator.
Views Dashboard
The views dashboard shows all available views for the current application. An App Designer can create and update them from here.
