In **Jestor**, a single table can be viewed in several different ways — such as Kanban, a filtered list, or Gantt — without duplicating data, because the table stores the information while the app decides how to display it.

## The difference between a table and an app

The table is a large spreadsheet, organized into columns and rows, where data is stored. The app is the visual layer built on top of that table, responsible for deciding which fields appear, in what format, and with which filters. Each row in the table becomes a card, a list item, or a Gantt bar, depending on the chosen format.

| Format     | How it uses the table's data                |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| **Kanban** | Each row becomes a card, organized by stage |
| **List**   | Displays rows as a filtered table           |
| **Gantt**  | Shows rows as stages laid out over time     |

## How to create different views of the same table

1. Create or open a table with the data you want to organize.
2. Create an app linked to that table.
3. Choose the view block — Kanban, list, Gantt, or others.
4. Filter and select which fields appear in each format, without changing the underlying data.

## Why choose Jestor

- **One dataset, multiple views**: no need to duplicate information to get different formats.
- **Filters per view**: each app can show only what's relevant to that team.
- **No-code flexibility**: any field can be reorganized inside the apps.

### Does changing the view in the app modify the table's data?

No. The app only displays and filters the data; the table's structure stays intact.

### Can more than one app use the same table?

Yes. Several apps can connect to the same table, each with a different view format.

### What does one Kanban card correspond to in the table?

Each Kanban card corresponds to exactly one row in the table.
