Views for Mashups and Mashables
Views define the format and layout for data from mashables and mashups. Views may also require specific types of information. Charts typically work with numeric data, maps require location data and tabular views accept almost any kind of data.
Views also define which devices support their layout: desktop browsers, mobile phones and/or mobile tablets. See
About Desktop and Mobile View Compatibility for more information.
MashZone NextGen bundles a set of common views, known as the built-in views, that you can use to work with mashable or mashup data or use to create apps. New in this release, MashZone NextGen also now includes real-time views for Event mashables.
You can add multiple views to use with a specific mashable or mashup. See
Add Views to Mashables and Mashups for instructions. You can then use these views can in basic apps that you or other users create from that mashable or mashup. Or they can be added directly to workspaces. See
Create a Basic App for more information on creating basic apps. See
Create Workspace Apps with
Mashboard for more information on creating workspaces.
MashZone NextGen developers and administrators can also:

Customize the views you create for mashables and mashups. This actually creates basic apps which they customize.

Create additional, pluggable views that are added to the list of built-in views. You can then use them to add views to mashables or mashups.
The following built-in
MashZone NextGen views are all compatible with desktop browsers. Views that are also mobile compatible, have additional icons. See
About Desktop and Mobile View Compatibility for more information.
