Session 3 of the Layer Maker Course

This session covers the three foundational view types in Layer: Table, Gallery, and Form. Most day-to-day work in Layer happens through one of these three.

By the end of the hour, you'll know which view to reach for in which situation, and how to configure each one for a real project.

What we'll cover

  • Table view: sorting, filtering, grouping, freezing columns, inline editing, bulk updates

  • Gallery view: image-heavy displays, configurable cards, ideal for FF&E and finish selections

  • Form view: structured data capture in the field, conditional logic, mobile-first layouts

  • When to use each, and when to combine them on the same dataset

  • View permissions: making a view read-only for some users and editable for others

  • Saved filters and shared views vs. personal views

Who it's for

  • Project leads who need to set up working views for their teams

  • BIM and IT staff configuring Layer for a firm rollout

  • Field staff who will live inside the Form view on iOS or Android
