A view controls which properties are shown and how the record list looks in each object.In view management, you can freely customize the properties shown in the object and the order of records.Once you master view management, you can display records by product group or let each user set their own preferred view. By default, the system uses the default view.
A form is the input screen used when creating a new record.By default, the input fields (properties) are set to a default layout, but you can customize them freely in form management.
In Sanka, you can customize views and forms to match your workflow.View management is done from the top-left of the record list using two controls: Create view and the View switcher (≡).
Create view: Create a new view. You can also create forms here.
View switcher (≡): Switch between registered views.
Circle icon: Indicates the default view. The default view is registered first.

Can I create a view that only applies to my account?
Yes. You can set a private view that only applies to your account.As shared views grow, you might think, “I only use this view, but everyone can see it” or “The list is getting cluttered.” A private view lets you customize without impacting the team.You can only set a view to private when creating it. You cannot change an existing public view to private.When creating a view, turn on the Private view tab and save it.
