Introducing views, forms, and dashboards
In the previous chapter, we really focused on creating the data elements of our tables. Now, we will look at the other features that will start to feed into our model-driven app – views, forms, and dashboards:
- Views: Views allow you to create predefined filters on the records within the table, which makes the queries more efficient when we use Dataverse as a data source within model-driven apps.
- Forms: In the same way in which we can create views of the data for model- driven apps, we can also define forms for inputting, editing, or viewing the data.
- Dashboards: Dashboards allow you to create preconfigured graphical representations of the data using multiple controls.
We should always keep in mind the differences in approach between creating a model- driven app and creating a canvas app. With model-driven apps, you ideally need to consider what your views and other components are going to be before you...
