--- title: "Getting started: Views" description: "What are views in Stackby?" url: https://help.stackby.com/es/articles/42-getting-started-views collection: "Visualize Data in Different Views" updated: 2025-10-01 language: es alternates: [en] --- # Getting started: Views What are views in Stackby? ## Views **Views in Stackby** are different ways to **visualize and organize the data** within a single table (or "Stack"). Allows you to focus on specific information without altering the underlying data, making the same dataset functional for various needs and team roles. A view is essentially a customized display of your data, where you can apply different **filters, sorts, groupings, and column visibility** to fit a particular use case. Every table must have at least one view, which is the default **Grid View**. ## **Grid View** This is where you can structure your data and do all the work that you have been typically doing on spreadsheets. Grid views are all-around useful and are particularly helpful when you're trying to add new information to a table.  [Grid view](https://help.stackby.com/en/articles/136-guide-to-grid-view.md) is the default type of view in Stackby.  Note: Each table needs to have at least one grid view. [You can refer to the Grid view in detail here.](https://help.stackby.com/en/articles/136-guide-to-grid-view.md) ![](https://d258lu9myqkejp.cloudfront.net/attachment_images/f9679c53e5a8d3bdb6fce46e594746593bde07513bbe86439fb6e83f647b33471682406150935.png) For the new Grid, you can use the toolbar to [Hide](https://help.stackby.com/en/articles/110-hide-columns.md), [Filter](https://help.stackby.com/en/articles/111-filter-records.md) and [Sort](https://help.stackby.com/en/articles/112-sort-records.md) your data to personalize the view as per your requirement. You can also change the [Row Height](https://help.stackby.com/en/articles/109-row-height.md) to customize it for your data to fit in. Once your data is formatted as per your requirement, you can start working on this new grid. Freezing a column means locking it to keep it visible while the user scrolls through the Stack. This is specifically helpful if a column is required to be seen at all times. When viewing a grid view, you can [freeze - or lock](https://help.stackby.com/en/articles/85-adjusting-column-width-column-position-and-frozen-columns.md) \- a column to always keep it in view when you're scrolling through a table horizontally. The [summary bar](https://help.stackby.com/en/articles/113-summary-bar.md) displays a summary of your table content. Different column types will have different summarization functions available: For Number based column type:  - Sum  - Min - Max For Date and Time column type: - Earliest date - Latest Date ## **Kanban View** Kanban boards visually depict work in various stages of a process and use cards to represent work items and columns to represent each stage of the process.  [Kanban's view](https://help.stackby.com/en/articles/137-guide-to-kanban-view.md) on Stackby works exactly in the same way, leading the way with clarity when it comes to process and their progress.  Click on the drop-down menu arrow beside the Grid Button Click on the add View + icon. Select and click on Kanban Layout to create a new Kanban View. A pop-up will ask you to select the grouping field and also let you know what groups you can select. Select the data and you can view your data in Kanban. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/96frSyl2V7bvSW8EZMNLB4VgpYF6eeVsvmE3Jr8pjIvNOKe0uyTG7b1E1c9GSEOLPsttqvBhJBt.png) ## **Calendar View** When you are working on a deadline, it makes it worthwhile to have everything chalked out on a Calendar. Stackby's [Calendar view](https://help.stackby.com/en/articles/138-guide-to-calendar-view.md) lets you do just that and more. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/mX2QsKNxalTBkmY7T0ZxPCSdV4UP3t8vSMTX0kHHgyb9L00PNzmRg3KGoNi9wPxDPqw6BCqywB3.png) ## **Form View** Forms are the most important elements in our workflow. It helps us collect information, get responses, do surveys and much more. Regardless of the role -- Product Manager, Customer Support, UX Researcher, Creative Director or a Deal-Flow Analyst --, forms make everyone's life easier.  ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/A2cS0Am7xOaBOzLc5MP3NY9HbeyJkyUxWFkNqPQ7jdMqCmBezmph17vG41GaG7Q7UYjSa0nNhRw.png) ## **Gallery View** You can create your gallery Layout by just adding a [gallery view](https://help.stackby.com/en/articles/141-guide-to-gallery-view.md) in your stack. For creating a gallery view attachment column is not necessary.  ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/i2bFV6ollrENMXD3ZWdyc4R2wCRNm71vjlmVbOiFNln8uVBBApzaQzBLfK0AAVFgJVhmB7zqLgX.gif) You can customize your gallery view in the way you want. From customized card settings you can add an attachment column to the top cover image column. ## Updatable Form View Not only can you create custom forms from anyone or embed it on your website or blog but also create [updatable forms](https://help.stackby.com/en/articles/140-guide-to-creating-updatable-forms.md) for your team to bring new responses or update existing records You get an extra sidebar view in this form, which shows all the records you have in that table.  ![](https://d258lu9myqkejp.cloudfront.net/attachment_images/fdd736c57488112062dee66dc5b4b95a5cb034f5b2543dbf2231eb31aec3a4021682407447716.png) ## **Timeline view** The [Timeline View](https://help.stackby.com/en/articles/378-guide-to-timeline-view.md) in Stackby provides a dynamic way to visualize tasks, projects, and schedules over a specific period.
