Views in depth
Look at a Collection's entries as a table, a Kanban board, a photo-card gallery, a Pinterest-style mosaic, a shelf of book covers, a chronological feed, a compact list of rows, or a calendar — and switch between them.
Every Collection's Entries tab can be looked at through more than one view. You start with the familiar Table, and you can add a Board (Kanban) that groups your entries into columns, a Gallery of photo cards, a Mosaic — a flowing wall where every card is as tall as its picture — a Books shelf where every entry is a hardcover with its photo as the front cover, a Feed — the Collection's entries as a scrolling log of the same rich cards you see in your Log — a List, the same cards squeezed into compact rows you can scan and tick — or a Calendar, your entries laid out on the days they happened.
Switch between them with the bar at the top of the Entries tab:

- Each pill is a saved view. Click one to switch; the choice rides the page URL, so you can bookmark or share a link straight to your Board or Mosaic.
- The + opens a small menu — pick Board, Gallery, Mosaic, Books, Feed, List, or Calendar to add one.
- Click the pill you're already on to open its menu — Rename, Duplicate, View settings, Property visibility, Move left / Move right, and Delete. A Calendar view also offers Show on calendar.
- Your views are saved on the Collection and sync to your other devices.
- Kaizendex also remembers the view you last used on each Collection (on this device), so a photo Collection keeps opening on its Mosaic.
Rename a view
Double-click any pill — Table included — and type a new name. Press Enter to save it, or click elsewhere to save automatically. Press Escape to back out without changing anything. You can also click the pill you're on and choose Rename from its menu.
Reorder your views
On a computer, just drag a pill to a new spot in the bar — drop it where you want it and the order is saved. On a phone or anywhere dragging isn't handy, click the pill you're on and choose Move left or Move right from its menu. Any view can be moved, including Table.
The Board view
A Board lays your entries out as cards in columns, grouped by one property: a Tags property (one tag or many), a Select, a Checkbox, a Date or a Relation. Each column is one value of that property, with a count next to its name. A final "No …" column (for example No Status) collects every entry that hasn't been given a value yet.
An entry with several tags shows in every one of their columns — a task tagged Home and Urgent sits in both.

└──────────────┘ └──────────────┘
Each card shows the entry's icon, its title, and its other fields — the same cards the rest of the app draws, so anything you can do to a card in your Feed you can do here.
Edit a card without leaving the board
Click straight into a card and type. A board card's fields are the real, live fields: click the title and rename it, tick a checkbox, pick a tag, type a number. Every change saves in the background — there's no pop-up to open first and nothing to confirm.
Three levels, and you choose how far you go:
- Click a field — edit that one value right there on the card. The cursor lands exactly where you clicked, so you can fix one word without retyping the rest. Click the card's icon to pick a new one.
- Hover the card and click the ⤢ expand button (top-right) — the entry slides open in a panel beside the board, with everything its page offers: all its properties, its page/notes, its sub-entries. The board stays visible behind it.
- Click ⤢ Open full page inside that panel — you land on the entry's own page. (Same ⤢ glyph as the card button that opened the panel: it always means "this entry, full screen".)
Clicking a card's empty space opens the panel too. Press Escape or click away to close it.
The panel has a single, uncluttered header row: » on the far left closes it, and on the right sit ⤢ Open full page and a ⋯ menu with the same actions the entry's own page offers — move to a folder, edit the card layout, version history, delete. The entry's title isn't repeated up there; it's right below, where you can edit it.
The panel is the entry page, not a preview of it. Everything the full page lets you do with properties, you can do here: pick and recolour tags, rename a property, change what's shown, and + Add a property at the bottom of the list to give the whole collection a new field.
Menus and pickers you open inside the panel belong to the panel — working in them never closes it. Escape closes one thing at a time: the colour picker first, then the tag list, then the panel itself.
Drag a card to change its group
Drag any card into another column to move it there — Kaizendex sets that entry's grouping value for you. On a Tags board only the tag of the column you dragged from changes; the entry keeps its other tags. Drop a card into the "No …" column to clear the value. The card jumps to its new column instantly; the change saves in the background.
Add a card straight into a column
Each column has a + New button at the bottom, and a + in its header (it shows when you point at the column). + New adds the card at the bottom of the column, + adds it at the top. Either way the card is already tagged with that column's value and the cursor is in its title with the default name selected — just start typing. Press Enter for a new line in the title; click away when you are done. The "No …" column's buttons create an entry with no value set.
Add a whole new column
After the last column there's a quiet + New group button. Click it, type a name, and press Enter — a fresh, empty column appears on the spot, ready to receive cards. On a Tag-grouped board this creates a real tag option (with the next colour from the palette), so it shows up everywhere that tag is used; on a Select-grouped board the empty column is remembered on the view until an entry uses the value. Typing the name of a group that already exists never makes a duplicate — if that group was hidden, it simply comes back; if it is already on the board, a short note under the box tells you so.
Collapse, hide and show columns
Each column is tinted with its group's colour. Point at a column to see three buttons in its header: collapse, ··· (column options) and + (add a card at the top). Collapse folds the column into a thin strip that shows its name and count; click the strip to open it again. You can still drop cards on a collapsed column.
Click a column's name (or its ···) to open its menu: Rename and Colour edit the tag itself (the same editor as the tag list on an entry, so the change shows everywhere that tag is used), and Hide group tucks the column away.
Hidden columns are never lost. While anything is hidden, a Hidden groups column sits at the right end of the board — click a group there and its column comes straight back. The same list is in the view's settings under Group (below).
Choose what to group by — the Group panel
Open the view's settings and choose Group. Everything about the groups lives there:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Group by | The property that forms the columns. A List also offers None. |
| Date grouping | For a Date property: one group per day, week or month. |
| Sort groups | Manual (your drag order), A → Z, Z → A or By count. |
| Hide empty groups | Leave out groups with no entries — handy for the "No …" column. |
| Visible groups | Every shown group with its count. Drag one by its grip to reorder, or click the eye to hide it. Hide all hides them all. |
| Hidden groups | Every hidden group, by name. Click the eye to show it again, or Show all. |
Picking the property that is already chosen changes nothing. Picking a different one starts fresh: its groups are shown in their natural order.
If your Collection has nothing that can group, the Board shows a short prompt instead of columns — add a Tags, Select, Checkbox, Date or Relation property on the Properties tab and it'll light up.
Design the cards
Board cards are yours to design, exactly like your Feed cards and List rows. Open the view's settings, choose Board card style, then Edit JSON to decide what goes where, how it's coloured and sized, and what clicking does.
A board's cards are their own design, kept separate from the cards in your Log — restyling one never changes the other. Until you customise it, a board uses a sensible layout worked out from your properties, and the editor opens on that real layout so you're always editing what you can see. Full details in Customizing the card.
Remove a view
A view you no longer want (Board, Gallery, Mosaic, Books, Feed, List or Calendar)? Click its name in the switcher (the active pill) and choose Delete from the little menu that drops down. The Collection's first Table is the one view you can't delete. Deleting a view never touches your entries — it only removes that way of looking at them.
The Gallery, Mosaic and Books views
All three show your entries as cards led by a photo — perfect for Collections where the picture is the content: saved posts, recipes, outfits, places.
- Gallery — a tidy, uniform grid. Every card is the same size; the photo is cropped to fit, with the entry's title underneath.
- Mosaic — a flowing wall of columns where every card keeps its photo's natural shape, tall ones tall and wide ones short — the look you know from Pinterest or GatherOS.
- Books — a bookshelf. Every entry becomes a tall hardcover: its photo is the front cover, complete with a spine, a soft shadow, and a little lift when you hover — perfect for a reading list or any Collection where each entry has a poster-shaped image.
On a Gallery, Mosaic or Books card, everything under the photo is the same live card a Board draws: click the title to rename it right there (the cursor lands where you click), properties sit one per line — text properties with their label above them — and anything cut short ends in the … chip. Click anywhere else on the card to open the entry. A book without a photo gets a plain cover with its icon, and its title still sits underneath.

The photo comes from the Collection's Files & media property (the first one, unless you pick another — see settings below), and it is the first file in that property. An entry without a photo still shows up, as a neat text card with its icon, title, and a line or two of its other fields — a saved post that's all words sits comfortably next to the pictures.
Click any card to open the full entry. If the Collection has no Files & media property at all, the view still works as text cards, with a hint pointing you to the Properties tab.
Card settings
Open View settings on a Gallery, Mosaic, or Books view and choose Gallery card style. Its Cover section has:
- Cover — which property provides the card image: a Files & media property, or a URL property (saved YouTube links draw their own thumbnail). Auto (first Photo) picks the first Files & media property.
- Fallback — a second property to try when an entry's cover is empty — for example Files & media first, then the URL. Auto (first Link) tries the first URL; set it to None to show photo-only covers.
- Show title — turn the title under each photo off for a pure wall of images.
How many cards sit side by side lives in View style → Cards → Columns (1–6), next to Card width and the other grid sizes.
Every change applies instantly and syncs with the view.
The Feed view
The Feed shows the Collection's entries as a scrolling, chronological log — each entry as the same full card you see in your Log, with its custom card layout, inline editing, running timers, and sub-entries all working right there. It's your Log, filtered down to just this Collection.
- Entries run newest first from the top, with quiet Today / Yesterday / date labels between days — just like the Log.
- Every card is live: tick a checkbox, edit a value, or watch a stopwatch run without leaving the view. Click a card's title to rename it in place, exactly like on a Board.
- Long histories just keep scrolling — every entry is there, no button to load more.
- Like every view, a Feed can carry its own filter and sort (see below) — for example a "This week" feed next to an everything feed.
What each card shows is decided by the Collection's card layout (the same one the Log uses), so your Feed view and your Log always match.
The List view
A List shows every entry as one compact row — the same card you see everywhere else, just laid out tight and full-width instead of as a floating card. Everything on a row is live: tick a checkbox, type in a number, pick a tag, right there in the list.

- It looks good straight away. With nothing set up, Kaizendex builds a sensible row from your properties: the name leads, and the first few details follow close behind it, left-aligned. Empty details simply don't take up room.
- One line per entry. A long name is cut short with "…" so the details stay visible. Anything that doesn't fit on the line (a page, a photo, more details) hides behind a small +3-style chip — click it, or the › arrow, to open the row and see every property underneath. The name is there too, under a small Title label — full length, and you can edit it right there. An open row also shows its sub-entries — a routine's checklist, say — ready to tick.
- Rows that start open. Turn on Rows start open in the view's List row style (or set
"defaultOpen": truein the row design) and every row arrives already open — handy for a routine whose checklist is the whole point. The › arrow still folds any row you don't need. - Lines, new lines and wrapping. In any view's Properties, open a property: Lines lets it use 1, 2, 3 or All lines — a long task name can show in full. On list rows you can also Start on a new line. In List row style, Wrap when full lets values flow onto the next line, and Align values puts them at the top or the middle of a taller row.
- Line and Open. In a list view's Properties panel each property has two switches. Line shows it on the row itself. Open shows it when you open the row. Turn both off to hide it from the list. The +N badge only counts what opening shows, and a row with nothing to open has no arrow.
- Edit right on the row. Click the name (or a text detail) and type — the cursor lands where you clicked and nothing jumps. The text grows exactly the way it will look when you're done: wider first, then onto more lines when the row runs out of room. Click away and it folds back to one line. Click the row's icon to pick a new one.
- Every checkbox is just a checkbox. Nothing is treated as a special "done" property — a Collection can have three checkboxes on a row, or twenty, or none at all. A reading list with no checkboxes looks just as tidy as a to-do list.
- Drag to reorder. Hover a row and grab the ⋮⋮ handle on its left (or the + next to it adds a new entry right below). While you drag, a line shows exactly where the row will land.
- Row menu. Click the ⋮⋮ handle (without dragging) for Open entry and Delete entry. It works the same in lists and tables. On a phone, press and hold a row without moving it.
- + Add entry sits at the foot of the list. Click it and a new row appears right above it, with the cursor already in its empty name — just type. The collection's name shows faintly as a hint until you do. New at the top of the view adds the row at the top instead. On a list that is sorted, the new row goes wherever the sort puts it: the list scrolls to it and highlights it for a moment, and the cursor is still in its name. A list with no sort shows its entries in the order you added them, oldest first. A new row also picks up the view's filters — add one in a list filtered to "Stage is do today" and it starts as "do today", so it stays in that list.
- The same list everywhere. A list you pin in your chats, or a list inside a global collection, looks and works exactly like it does on its own page — same rows, same order, same + Add entry at the bottom.
Names, text and pages all read and edit the same way, on every card and row. A text or page property shows its label on its own line above it, full width (hide the label in the card's JSON if you prefer). Anything cut short ends in a small … chip — point at it for See more, click it to open the text. Click anywhere in the text and the cursor goes right there — nothing moves or changes size. It grows to show everything while you write; once it fills half the screen it scrolls instead (the scrollbar never squeezes the text), and it folds back when you click away.
In a list row, a long text detail stops at a sensible width and ends in …, so the name always keeps its room.
Designing your rows
A List view has its own row design, kept separately from the Collection's card design. Changing the card changes your Log and your Feed — it never changes your list rows, and vice versa. Two Lists on the same Collection can look completely different.
Open View settings → List row style → Edit JSON — the same editor the card uses. Easiest is to ask the AI: "on my Groceries list, put the Done checkbox first and make the name bold." In List row style you'll also find:
- Use card from — reuse another view's design in two clicks.
- Reset to Collection card — drop this view's own changes and go back to the Collection's design.
The List row style row in View settings tells you at a glance whether this view is on a Custom design or the Default one.
When you ask the AI for a change, it changes that one thing. It reads the design your view is actually using — including the automatic one you never edited — and adjusts it, so everything you didn't mention stays exactly as it was. Ask for a rebuild ("start this card over from scratch") and it will, but that's something you have to ask for.
Making rows do something when you tap them
Tapping a row opens the entry — unless you've asked for something else. Row and card behaviour is part of the design, not a fixed rule, so you can say things like "tapping a row should tick it off and cross it out" and the AI writes that into the row design. You choose what's tappable, what it does, and how it looks doing it.
The Calendar view
A Calendar view puts this Collection's entries on the same grid the Calendar page uses — the continuous day strip, the month grid, click-an-empty-slot to create, drag a block to move it. The difference is that it shows only what this view selects, so its filters and sorts work exactly like every other view's.
That is what makes "my workouts this month" or "only the runs" a calendar you can open in one click:
- Add a Calendar view to your Workouts Collection, filter it to Type is Run, and you have a running calendar.
- Click an empty slot and the new entry is created in this Collection, already carrying the filter's values — never in some other Collection.
- A Collection with nothing dateable still works: it just shows the sessions from its stopwatch, or nothing at all until you add a date.
Show everything as dots
A calendar normally draws only things with a time — meetings, workouts, sessions. Turn on Show all entries as dots (in View settings → Calendar) and everything else this view selects appears too, as a small icon on the day you logged it: a 📝 for the note you wrote, a ☕️ for the coffee.
It turns the grid into "what happened this day" rather than "what was scheduled". Tap a dot and it opens the entry, exactly like a block. An entry is one or the other — never both a block and a dot.
Putting a calendar view on the Calendar page
Click the view's pill and choose Show on calendar and it joins the Calendar views list on the Calendar page, with its own checkbox — so you can overlay it on everything else, or tick it on its own.
The toolbar — Filter, Sort and New
At the right end of the view bar sit three controls, on every view and on a global collection's views too:
- Filter opens the rules for the view you're on, straight away.
- Sort opens a small panel right there: pick a property, pick a direction, stack several sorts, drag them to change which one wins, or remove one. It's the quick path — the same sorting also lives in the settings sidebar if you're already in there.
- New creates an entry and puts you straight into it. What that means depends on the view: on a Table it's the inline new row, on a Board it lands in the column you're looking at (already carrying that column's value), on a List it adds a new row at the top with the cursor in its name, on a Calendar it lands on today, and on a Feed, Gallery, Mosaic or Books view it creates the entry and opens it. Inside a global collection it asks which Collection the entry belongs to first — a global collection holds no entries of its own. You can start typing the title right after you click — nothing you type is lost while the entry opens — and a quick double click still makes just one entry.
If the view you're on has filters, the Filter icon goes bold with a small dot beside it; if it has sorting, the Sort icon does the same. Each signal sits on the button that fixes it.
View settings — the side panel
Choose Edit view beside the tabs, or use the selected view’s menu. The panel opens at the right and fills the screen on phones. Changes apply immediately. Its sections include Layout (switch the view's type), New entries, Properties, Filter, Sort, Group, View style, the card style for this kind of view (Board card style, List row style, Gallery card style, Feed card style or Calendar card style), and Open entries (Side peek, Center peek or Full page). Calendar views also have a Calendar section.
The card style controls the card inside each row, tile or event; View style controls the surrounding view. Each has its own JSON editor. Edit view JSON edits the full view with validation before Apply. Undo reverses recent changes; Ctrl/Cmd+Z works while the editor is open on a computer.
Click outside, press Escape, or choose × to close. Returning to a section remembers its scroll position.
Style — how a view looks
Every view has an optional View style section for the finer visual controls: type size, row height, spacing, whether the title shows, and settings specific to the kind you're on — gridlines and header on a Table, columns and captions on a Gallery, checkbox size and colour, and more. Leave it alone and a view looks exactly like it always has; open it and everything you change previews live.
Because a view is one thing wherever it's used, Style lives in exactly one place — this same sidebar, whether you open it from the collection page, from a Global collection, or from a View settings link inside a dashboard widget's Edit dialog (see Editing widgets). Style it once here and every board that embeds this view picks up the change; a board embed only adds its own placement details (how many rows show, how dense the list is), never a second copy of the look.
Choosing which properties show
Every view can show a different set of properties. Open Edit view → Properties to search, reorder and show or hide fields. The pencil opens that property’s editor; the name and type come first, followed by separate This view and Entry pages settings.
Tables offer Show and Hide, keeping whole columns stable. Cards also offer Hide when empty; zero and false count as values. Card visibility and labels change the view’s own card document. A preset, rule or screen-size override can still control a setting; the editor names the cause and opens the relevant JSON rather than silently removing it.
Show all and Hide all update ordinary fields together. Removing a property is collection-wide and happens at once: the toast names any other places that use it and has an Undo button (⌘Z / Ctrl+Z works too).
The Table view
The Table is unchanged — the same database table you already know, with inline editing, column resize/reorder, and the sub-entry matrix. It's always there, even if you never add another.
Filtering and sorting a view
Every view can be given its own filter and sort, so each one can show a different slice of your entries without touching the others.
Click Filter in the toolbar and you land on the filter rules straight away; Sort opens its own panel beside it, or reach both through the pill menu's View settings. Whenever the view you're on has filters the Filter icon goes bold with a dot, and whenever it has sorting the Sort icon does — so you can tell at a glance, and the fix is right where the signal is.
Filter
Add a rule to hide entries that don't match: pick a property (or Name / Date), pick a comparison — like Contains, Does not contain, Starts with, Ends with, Is, Is empty, Before, Greater than — and, if needed, a value to compare against. The choices offered depend on the property: text properties get Contains/Does not contain/Starts with/Ends with/Is, numbers get Greater than/Less than/Greater than or equal to/Less than or equal to, dates get Before/After, multi-value properties (like multiple tags) get Contains/Does not contain, and Relation properties get Is / Is not (Contains / Does not contain when a property can hold many entries) — so a Tasks view can show only the tasks whose Area is, say, "Health". Add more than one rule and every rule has to match — unless you group some of them, see below.
Pick values the way you set them. A tag or a related entry is picked with the same dropdown you use on an entry's page — search it, tick it, remove it with the ×. Pick a second value and Is becomes Is any of: "Stage is any of Doing, Blocked" shows entries in either stage, without an Or group.
Every property filters by what it shows. A Stopwatch or Timer filters and sorts by its time in minutes ("Duration greater than 30"). A Formula filters by its result. Sub-entries filter by how many there are (Is empty means none), and so do Files. A Chart has nothing to compare, so it isn't offered. A related Collection's reverse side ("Projects" on an Area) can be filtered and sorted like any other relation.
Dates use your day. "Today" means your local day, not a server's — an entry logged at 1:30 at night still counts for that night. If you set Day starts at (below), an entry before that hour counts for the day before, just like "Today" itself. A date with an end (a trip from the 20th to the 30th) matches every day it covers: Is the 27th and This week both find it, After looks at when it ends and Before at when it starts.
A broken rule tells you. If a rule points at a tag option or an entry you have since deleted, it stops filtering and shows Deleted tag or Deleted entry in red. Pick a new value or remove the rule.
Match any with groups. Rules normally all have to match, but Add group creates a bracket where you choose Or instead of And. An Or group matches an entry if any rule inside it does — so a Tasks view can show "Status is Doing or Status is Blocked", while a rule outside the group (say Area is Kaizendex) still has to match. Flip the group to And to bracket rules the other way, and put one more group inside a group when you need something like "A and (B or C)". Two levels of grouping is the limit. Delete a rule or the whole group with the × on its row; emptying a group removes it.
New entries only inherit rules that are true for everything the view shows, so rules inside an Or group don't pre-fill anything (there's no way to tell which side of the or you meant).
Dates can be relative. On a date rule, switch the value from Exact to Relative and pick one of Today, Yesterday, Tomorrow, This week, Last week, Next week, This month, Last month, This year, Past 7 days, Past 30 days, Next 7 days or Next 30 days. The view then moves with time: a "Today" filter keeps showing today's entries tomorrow, without you editing anything. Weeks run Monday to Sunday, and the ranges include today. With Is, a range like This week means "falls anywhere in this week"; Before and After mean before the whole range starts or after it ends. A view left open overnight catches up the next time you touch it.
If you add a new row from the Table while a filter is active, that row stays visible while you fill it in, even if it doesn't match the filter yet.
New entries inherit the filter. Anything you create from inside a filtered view starts out already matching it. In a Tasks view filtered to Area is Kaizendex, pressing New entry creates a task with Area already set to Kaizendex — no re-picking it every time. This works from the Table's New entry, a Board column's + New (where the column you tapped wins for that property), and the preset menu (a preset's own values always win). It only fills in rules with one obvious answer — Is and Contains — so Is not, Is empty, Before, Greater than and the like leave the new entry blank, since there's no single value they point at. A relative date filter counts too when it points at one day — Is Today dates the new entry today — while a range like This week leaves the date alone.
On your phone. The mobile app edits filters too: open View settings on a Collection and use the Filter section. It's the same rules, the same conditions, the same Or groups and the same Relative dates as on the web — picking a property, a condition, a tag or a related entry opens a bottom sheet instead of a dropdown. Is any of, the entry-page pickers and the red "Deleted tag" warning are on the web first; the phone app gets them in a later update.
Sort
Add a rule to choose the order entries appear in: pick a property (or Name / Date) and Ascending or Descending. Add a second rule to break ties on the first — for example sort by Status, then by Date within each status. Entries with nothing in that field always sort to the bottom, no matter the direction. Leave sort empty and a view falls back to showing the newest entries first, as before.
What's not here yet
- A lightbox — clicking a Gallery/Mosaic card opens the entry page; a quick photo preview overlay may come later.
Quick-add with starting values
In View settings → New entries, choose a Collection and the property values new entries should start with. For example, a daily task list can use Tasks, Stage = do today, and Done = unchecked. Click + Add entry — the new row starts with those values, and you type its name right in the row. These are starting values, so you can edit the entry afterward.
A global list can display several collections while adding to one default collection. New adds a row at the top; Other collection lets you choose another destination. Choose Ask each time to remove the default destination.
Day starts at controls when relative-date filters such as Today change days, using your device's local timezone. A 01:00 boundary keeps the previous day's routine list visible until 01:00. Match recurring automation times and timezone to your intended boundary. This setting does not delete or reset entries.
Editing a view and its cards
Use Edit view beside the view tabs. The editor opens over the page; on phones it fills the screen. Properties, Filter, Sort, Group, View style, card style and Open entries all live here. Search filters the entries you are looking at without changing saved filters. Active sorts appear as chips beneath the toolbar; active filters show as a count on the Filter button. Narrow tab bars keep the selected view visible; More searches all views.
Each collection has Default cards on its Cards tab: Feed, List, Board, Calendar and Gallery. Customised views appear beneath their card type. Collection, view and preset cards use the same JSON grammar. The order is app default → collection → view → preset. A preset wins only the settings and card types it changes. Card style labels those settings Set by preset ….
Edit JSON edits this view's changes and shows its effective card read-only. Make this the Collection card moves those changes to the collection and clears the view's copy. The promoting view keeps its appearance, including preset entries; the preview lists other affected views. Reset to Collection card clears the view's changes. Detach from Collection card freezes the lower ranks while allowing preset changes to keep applying. Copy card JSON copies the effective card. Use card from checks property compatibility before copying a view's design.
In Properties, the pencil opens the property editor. This view controls its visibility and label here; Entry pages controls its visibility on entry pages. Cards offer Show, Hide when empty and Hide. Tables offer Show and Hide so columns stay stable. Zero and false count as values. A field governed by a rule directs you to JSON instead of overwriting the rule. Removing a property happens at once; the toast names anything that depends on it and offers Undo.
Lists group entries the same way boards do, through the same Group panel. Each group header has a ··· menu (Move up, Move down, Hide group), can be dragged to reorder, and folds when you click it; hidden groups come back from the Group panel. New entries made inside a group get its value. Open entries chooses Side peek (the default), Center peek or Full page. Undo reverses recent view edits; on a computer, Ctrl/Cmd+Z works while the view editor is open.
