What are Views?

Understanding Views in the Content Model

Content isn’t static—it needs to adapt to different devices, platforms, and user interactions. In content modeling, views determine how structured content is assembled and displayed in various contexts. Whether it’s a webpage, a mobile app, or an API response, views help define how content elements come together to create meaningful experiences.

How Views Work

Views are created by applying a content model, which consists of content types, elements, and attributes. They serve as flexible representations of content, allowing information to be displayed dynamically across different formats.

By leveraging views, content teams can:

• Enable multiple ways to display content – Ensure content is presented optimally across devices and channels.
• Support structured content consumption – Create a comprehensive content model that adapts to different user needs.
• Generate machine-readable content – Improve automation and interoperability by structuring content for APIs and AI-driven experiences.

Why Views Matter

• Create Dynamic Content – Views make it easier to assemble content in different formats without duplicating information.
• Accelerate Content Deployment – A well-structured content model enables quick and consistent content presentation.
• Enhance Scalability – Views support modular content delivery, ensuring seamless adaptability across platforms.
