Views are standardized and reusable UI elements, such as forms, tables, charts, and HTML views. You add views to your model by dragging them from the Compose task panel to the Design board. You define their logic and flow, and their input and output data on the Design board. You then define the content and layout on the Layout board. You can add views directly to the Design board as top-level elements, or you can add them within a container.

The following table lists the views that are available when building your composite view component:
