Views
Overview
Views is where you create and manage the user interface for your app — the views. You can think of views as the screens the user moves through while using the app.
Views are configured to contain a number of components (buttons, lists, sliders, texts, images and so on), which gives the app user things to see and intreract with.
All created views can be accessed and used in Structure Builder.
