Defining the user interface through view definitions

In BMC Helix Innovation Studio, a view definition is a graphical representation of your application. You use the view definitions to design the user interface for applications. 

You can create a view definition by arranging the data items in a specific order or by showing only specific data items. For example, use a view definition called Tracking Item to create and update Tracking Item records.
