Overview
Views are what define how records should be displayed to end-users. They are specified in XML and stored as records themselves, meaning they can be edited independently from the models that they represent. They are flexible and allow a high level of customization of the screens that they control. There exist various types of views. Each represents a visualization mode: form, list, kanban, etc.
