18 Chapter 1 Overview of Bento
Bento Window
The Bento window contains two main sections:
• The left side of the window contains the Libraries pane (which may display the
Devices section and the Shared section), and the Fields pane.
• The right side of the window displays the records in Bento. You can display
record data in table view, form view, grid view, or split view.
By default, both sections of the Bento window are displayed. To hide the Libraries
pane and Fields pane, choose View
> Hide Libraries & Fields Pane.
