Basic operations of views

Create a View

Open your base database page.
Click + New View in the view list (top navigation bar).
Name your view, select a view type, and saving.

View setting

Each view can be independently configured.

Access Settings:

Click ••• next to the view name.
Select "View Settings", and adjust the content displayed in the view settings panel as needed

Filter

The Filter function allows you to display only the data that meets certain criteria.

For example, you can set conditions to display only tasks with the status "Completed".

Setup method:

Go to the Filter option in the view settings.
Select one or more fields and set the corresponding conditions.

Group

The Group function can categorize and display data by specified fields.

For example, in customer data, you can group by region.

Operation steps:

Enter the view settings and find the group settings.
Select the field for grouping.
The data will be automatically classified and displayed according to the selected fields.

Field sorting and hiding

You can customize the order in which fields in the view are displayed and whether they are hidden.

Attention:

Other fields can be changed in order by dragging the left handle, or by clicking the right eye icon to hide.

Operation steps:

Select the corresponding attachment field as the cover source.

Bika.ai will automatically use the picture in the attachment as the card cover.

Set card layout

You can configure the layout in Gallery view and Kanban view to control how many cards are displayed per row.

Set the number of cards displayed per line.
