Aspects & Views
2 min
aspects are used to provide different views of the same table record or table list the data for the underlying record will be there, however what fields you show and what logic runs can be different per aspect aspects are accessed via the url you access an table, however, these have no security against it, so permissions or otherwise still need to be implemented to properly secure fields and records by default for a table, no aspects are created upon record creation how to create and access an aspect if you want to create a new view aspect, you are able to do so by going to the config menu in the top right of the form you wish to create it for and press “create aspect” it should be noted that if you wish to have a view for self service users, we typically suggest using the name “selfservice”, as this is what the catalog uses to redirect to upon a record being created from the catalog scripting with aspects when you want to write a script for an aspect, or do something specific for an aspect, within ui events, you can do this view the variable "viewaspect" if the form opens within the default form, viewaspect will be null this is important if you have certain field behaviour per aspect or want to enable sofi for only certain aspects
