Views
Views show the same blocks in different layouts. A book can appear as a cover in Grid, a row in Table, an item in List, or an event in Calendar. Changing the view does not copy or move the block.
Choose a view
| View | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Grid | Thumbnails, photos, videos, and visual browsing |
| Table | Comparing and editing properties in columns |
| List | A compact reading queue or simple collection |
| Tasks | Checklists, schedules, deadlines, and important items |
| Board | Moving work between tag-based lanes |
| Calendar | Events, deadlines, and other date properties |
| Graph | Exploring tag and mention connections |
Create and switch views
- Open the view switcher.
- Select New View.
- Select the new view again to open its settings.
- Under App type, choose the layout.
- Give the view a clear name, such as
Unread booksorThis week.
The view switcher shows saved views as tabs. When the window is narrow, extra views move into the view menu.
Give each view a purpose
Each saved view can keep its own app type, filters, sorting, and app settings. For example, one Book collection can have:
- A Grid view sorted by Created for browsing covers.
- A Table view sorted by Rating for comparing books.
- A List view filtered to books you have not read.
- A Calendar view that uses Finished on as its date source.
Filters decide which blocks appear. Sorting decides their order. Global filters apply across views, while view-specific choices stay with the current view.
