To summarize the different views:

  • Grid view is the default view. It looks like a traditional table and is easier for beginners to get started with. You can add multiple fields and define the format of all cells in the fields. Grid view is applicable in any scenario.

  • Kanban view displays compact record cards to ensure more efficient access to key information. To help you get a quick idea about the content of a record, Kanban view supports showing a preview of the record's attachment field as its cover.

  • Gantt view allows you to click on specific dates to create milestones. It also allows you to select any time dimension such as a week, month, quarter, or year. Gantt view displays the progress of every task with a progress bar, making the view useful for project management.

  • Form view turns the information in Grid view into questions on a form. You can share the form with anyone, and they will be able to fill it out. The collected data are recorded in the base, ready to be filtered and analyzed.
