Views
are way to users to consume data ( filtered and formatted lists of table rows. )They control which columns are displayed, the default sorting, and which records are visible based on filter conditions.
starting point for charts and reports
Editable grids available
Responsive design: you can dictate how grid will adjust on small screens: reflow, Grid only, List only.
Three types of views
Personal view
- individually created and only visible to the person creating that view, unless they share the view with others.
System view -
special views the application depends on, which exist for system tables or are automatically created when you create custom tables. They're only editable by system admins or system customizers.
Quick Find View: Controls the simple search experience. It defines which columns are searched when you use the search box on a list and which columns are displayed in the results.
Quick Find view auto-created for custom tables
Advanced Find View: Defines the default columns that are displayed when a user opens the "Advanced Find" feature for that table.
It's the default view used when you click Related tab (e.g., Contacts under Account).
You can’t change the default view shown in the Related tab — only modify the Associated View itself.
Associated View: Defines the columns you see when you are looking at a related record. For example, if you are on a Company record and look at its list of Employees, the Associated View of the Employee table is what you see.
Lookup View: Defines what you see when you click a lookup field that points to this table. It should show the key columns needed to help a user find and select the correct record from the list.
Public view
- general purpose views that are customizable. All app users have access to this kind of view, when a creator makes them available, through the view selector. You can add public views to subgrids in a form or as a list in a dashboard.
You can create new custom public views and edit existing ones.
Note: You cannot create/edit a view within a managed solution. Ensure that the app you want to create/edit a view is not in a managed solution

Grids
Grid lets you edit
Configure Grids
• Customizable Appearance: The look and feel of columns can be adjusted.
• Inline Editing: Lets users change data directly in the grid without opening each record individually.
Key Features
The Power Apps grid control is a modern component used in model-driven apps to allow users to view and edit records directly within a list (a view or subgrid), similar to editing cells in an Excel spreadsheet.
• Infinite Scrolling: Users can continuously scroll through data without needing to click through pages.
If the editable grid is turned on at the table level, any view of that table becomes editable.
Applies to both main view and views on dashboards.
Subgrid
Editable Grid is not automatic for all subgrids—you must configure it for that form’s subgrid as well.
Subgrid
is NOT auto-editable → Must be set manually in form designer.
