Sections, also called “views”, are the last cornerstone for using Portrait. Sections define:

• How the data will be represented

• Who will see the section

• If a form for capturing data is provided

The section is a pure presentation layer. No data is stored in it.

Sections have common Settings, and can use different view-types:

• List view (default) = show entries as list / table

• Map view = show entries on an interactive map

• Orgchart view = show entries as interactive organizational chart

• Timeline view = show entries as timeline

What fields of an entry are displayed, is defined via Column Types.
