Entity views
The following are the main views present for any entity:
- Active records: This view shows the active records of the entity.
- Inactive records: This view shows the inactive records of the entity.
- Associated records view: This view shows the associated records (N:1 and N:N) of the entity with other entities.
- Lookup view: This view appears on the 1:N control.
- Advanced find view: This view allows users to create queries, and save and export the results. This can also be converted into a personal view so that the query is saved. Bulk operations, such as updation of records, are also possible using the advanced find view.
