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 |

| 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 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 task you are assigned to. 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.

- 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:
