Views ​

We use views as a broad term in Capacities whenever content (one or many objects) is displayed in a certain way. We distinguish between object views, data views, and the graph view.

• Object views are what your individual notes look like when linked to elsewhere
• Data views are what your object types look like
• Graph view is the visual representation of the links between your content.

Object views ​

Object views are the views for a single object. Here are the different object view categories using the example of a location object, London. You can customize which view is the default view for most object types.

Inline Links ​

Link Block view ​

Small card view ​

You can customize what appears on this small card view.

Wide card view ​

Embed view ​

Page view ​

Choosing a default link view ​

If you have a preference for these link views, you can open your custom object type settings and make it the default view.

You can still adapt the views after, but by default you will get your preference. You set the preference in each object type setting.

You can see more about this here.

Data views ​

Data views are the views for a group of objects. These views occur on many occasions, for example when displaying the content of a database, a collection, or a tag. In the case of wall and gallery views, they utilize the small card object view of each object in the group to construct the wall and grid.

Graph view ​

The graph view is a special view that allows you to explore the local context of an object by visualizing all ingoing and outgoing connections.
