24 Chapter 1 Overview of Bento
Records Area
On the right side of the Bento window, you can display information stored in Bento in
either table view, a form view, grid view, or split view.
• 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.
• Form view shows fields from one record at a time, in arrangements that you
can customize, using beautiful themes.
• Grid view shows the media fields and form thumbnails of a selected library or
collection in a grid layout.
• Split view shows the selected record in either form view and table view, or
form view and grid view at the same time.
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.
