Available Form Views
SimpleOne provides a number of predefined form views that you can customize to your business needs. These views specify a set of fields that are displayed in the agent interface and on the Self-Service Portal (SSP).
| View | Interface | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Default | Agent | If no preferences are set, a user use this view in the agent interface. It is the basic view that displays the important fields. If a non-existent view is selected in Preferences, the Default view will be used. |

| User | Agent | The form view is used in the agent interface for the Employee table. It has the same set of fields like the Default view of User. |
| SP View Only | Portal | The form view is used on the SSP on the My tickets page for displaying information about the cards created by the current user. |
| SP | Portal | The form view is used on the SPP in the My tasks page to display information about the records: incidents, user queries, requests, change requests and problems. This card contains the Read Only Form widget. |

Portal form view
Portals pages use form views defined in the agent interface. Depending on the table, the portal widgets use different kinds of views: some retrieve layout information from heapselect elements, and some use widgets.
To configure the set of fields of a form to be displayed on the portal, complete the following steps:
- Open a record in the table for which you need to configure the portal view.
- In the burger menu , select Configure → Form → Layout.
- In the Form view and section, select the view used by the widget instance.
- Depending on the widget, there are two ways to configure the layout:
- move elements for the Service Catalog and Service Portal views.
- edit the Read Only Form widget properties for the SP and SP View Only views.
- Click Save to apply the changes.
To change the view that a widget instance uses, perform the following steps:
- Open the listitems widget instance that displays the record form you need to configure.
- In the Schema option values field, enter the view name like this:
"itemView":"Custom View"
