Use Display Builder with Views

Drupal's Views module combines two distinct roles: query building and display building. Display Builder focuses on the display building aspect, providing a more intuitive interface for organizing and configuring the view's display regions.

Overview

Display Builder provides a nicer way of using, positioning & configuring View's display regions:

  • Exposed form
  • Attachment before & Attachment after
  • Header & Footer areas
  • Rows
  • Pager & More
