A Custom View defines your App's interface and how it interacts with local or remote application data. It is the foundation for creating intuitive and user-friendly experiences for your users. As an App Builder, you know how important it is to create intuitive experiences for your users, so that they can get the most out of it without having to consciously think about the steps they need to take. This process often involves planning user journeys, gathering their feedback, and making alterations. The App Studio is the tool you use to build these interfaces and expedite this process.

A Custom View is essentially the interface definition of your App. Every new App initially comes with a Main View of the Custom type by default.

Important: Apps without a Custom View do not have access to the App Studio. If the view is missing or deleted, you need to create it a new Custom View to proceed with building your App's interface.

Creating a Custom View

To create a Custom View:

1. Navigate to the App Overview page.
2. Go to Configure > Views
3. Click Add new view.
   
   
4. Configure the following parameters:
   

   View name	Provide the name for the view.
   View type	Select Custom as the view type.
   Set as default view	Toggle this option to make the newly created view as the default one for your App.

5. Click Add.

Once your new Custom View is created, the App Studio option appears in the Configure menu (if it was previously missing).
