Views

Save and exit Studio when finished. Advanced users can also use the built-in XML editor, but should always edit the Studio-inherited version of a view rather than a standard or inherited one, otherwise changes can be lost during an update.

Tips by view type

• Form: structure content with tabs and columns, and add smart buttons for quick access to related records.
• List: enable inline editing or quick record creation.
• Kanban: set a default group-by and quick create options.
• Calendar and Gantt: assign start and end date fields to show records over time.
• Pivot and Graph: add measures and groupings for reporting.
• Map: requires a Many2One field linking to a contact with address information.
• Cohort: used to analyse retention or churn over time.

To let users reorder records manually, add a field using the Handle widget. You can also set a model’s default view from Studio > Views, using the ellipsis icon next to a view and choosing Set as Default.
