# Views, forms and dashboards

> Look at a board in different ways, collect items with forms, and show numbers on dashboards.

## Views

A board can have several views of the same items. A view is one of:

| Type | Shows |
| - | - |
| Table | One row per item |
| Kanban | Cards in lanes |
| Calendar | Items on a calendar |
| Timeline | Items over time |

A view saves its own name, type, filters, sorting, grouping and the list of visible columns. Create, rename and delete views from the board. Deleting a view never deletes items.

## Forms

A **form** creates items on one board. Each form field maps to a column of the board.

* Create a form on a board, add the fields, then **publish** it.
* A published form has a public page at `/form/<id>`. People who are not members of your workspace can fill it in.
* A public form writes through a restricted **intake member**. That member can only write to the form's board and the form's columns, and requests are rate limited. The submission is a normal, audited change.
* Forms can accept file uploads.
* A form can also list the items of another board for the visitor to browse before applying, for example open roles.
* A form that is not published is not available on its public page.

Signed-in members can also submit a form from inside Work.

## Dashboards

A dashboard is a page of **widgets**. Create a dashboard in a workspace, then add widgets to it.

| Widget | Shows |
| - | - |
| Count | One number |
| Chart | A chart of values grouped by a column |
| Table | Rows from a board |

A widget reads one board and can use these aggregations: Count, Count distinct, Sum, Average, Min and Max. Sum, Average, Min and Max need a Number column. Lookup columns are ignored by dashboards, because their value is not stored.

A widget only shows data that you may read. If you lose read access to the board, the widget is empty for you.

## Folders

A workspace has folders for boards, dashboards and docs. Moving something into a folder changes where it is listed, not who can use it.

## Archive and delete

Archive an item or a board to hide it. Archived items are left out of the board, search and dashboard counts, and cannot be edited until you restore them. Delete is also available. Archiving a board does not delete its items.
