5 Using Form View
In Bento, you use form view to display one record at a
time from a library or collection.
This chapter describes how to create and edit records in form view, create and modify
forms, and customize form layouts.
About Forms
In form view, you can create and use forms to display one record at a time from a
library or collection in a page-like format. For example, you can display a contact in
the Address Book library or a task in the iCal Tasks library.
With forms, you can see the fields for an individual record. You can create and use
multiple forms, or pages, to display different information about that record.
For a given library or collection, you can use any of its fields on any of its forms.
If you want to see more than one record at a time, or scan and sort your information
quickly, use table view instead. See
Chapter 6, “Using Table View.”
