Table View
To view the information in an entire library or collection in a spreadsheet-like table,
use table view.
In table view, you can work with your records in many ways, including:
• Selecting the columns (fields) that you want to show.
• Arranging the columns in any order.
• Sorting records by selecting a specific column.
• Analyzing data using a summary row.
See ”Using Table View” on page 59.
Table view shows each record as a row in a table.
Form view shows fields from a single record.
Split table and form view lets you view a record as a row in
a table and in a page-like format at the same time.
Grid view shows media fields or form thumbnails
in the selected library.
