Chapter 1 Overview of Bento 25
Records Area
In the center area of the Bento window, you can display information stored in Bento
in either table view or in one of several form views.
1 Table view shows information in an entire library or collection in a spreadsheet-like
table, where each row in the table is a record in the library.
1 Form view shows fields from one record at a time, in arrangements that you can
customize, using beautiful themes.
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:
1 Selecting the columns that you want to show.
1 Arranging the columns in any order.
1 Sorting records by selecting a specific column.
1 Analyzing data using a summary row.
See Chapter 6, “Using Table View,” on page 57.
Table view shows each record
as a row in a table.
Form view shows fields
from a single record.
