Every Category allows you to create Views in order to experience its Elements through different visual lenses. Learn more about each of the Views inside Layer and their functionalities.


Views in Layer are Lenses, that offer you a way to experience a Category's Elements and their Fields.

They offer Filters, Sorting rules & On/Off switches and can be duplicated to enable quick and easy content management.

A view can be created by clicking next to the Category's name in the main Dashboard.
