Creating a View

View

A view is a page displaying service data in different scenarios. It shows different target data based on user roles or service scenarios. By default, each form on Huawei Cloud Astro Zero no-code platform has a table view named All where all data is displayed. A form can contain multiple views. All views of the same form share the same set of data. Data modification is synchronized to all views where the data is located.

Figure 1 Relationships between applications, forms, and views

For example, a food ordering application creates a view for each department based on the food ordering situation, for example, a view of food ordering data can be created for department A, department B, and department C respectively. In the view (view editing), filter the information of each department to help food orderer manage orders.
