We use views all the time in our templates. It’s a wonderful way to keep your data organized and in one place, while being able to manipulate and view your data in different use-cases and pages.

Think of a linked database as a two-way excerpt of the source database.

• When interacting with a linked database, the views, filters, or sorts you create and delete will not affect the views on the original database.
• However, edits you make to the actual content or properties of a linked database will be reflected in the original.
• You can add as many linked databases as you would like in-line on a single page. Filter them for different purposes to create your own dashboard.

If you imagine your original table as a house, storing the contents inside, then different views would be different windows on the side of the house enabling you to look in. Each window can also have different tinting or distortion on the glass, changing the way the data looks.
