The "View" screen is the first screen you see when you open an app.
With the default settings, the "View" screen shows all of an app's records and fields in list format.
You can also create new views yourself. When creating a new view, you can change the order in which fields are displayed and specify filter conditions to narrow down which records are shown. In addition to the list view, you can create calendar views, which display records in calendar format, and custom views, which let you customize the display using HTML.
Since you can create multiple views, you may find it useful to create and save different views to best meet the needs of your app's users.

For more information about the preset view ("All records") and the views you can create yourself, see below.

With the default settings, apps come with the preset list view "(All records)".
