# Database View

> A View backed by an Object's records.

A Database View slices the records of one Object. Filters select which records appear; sorts decide order; saved column sets decide what's visible. Components inside the View (Tables, Boards, Grids, Lists, Calendars) each render the same record set in their own way.

## When to pick this

Pick Database when the View is record-driven: a "My open deals" view, a "Onboarding pipeline" view, a "All tickets created this week" view.

## What it includes

* A filter pill bar at the top.
* A saved-view picker.
* A grid of Components that share the same filtered record set.
