A multiview form is bound to a collection which is displayed in a two-pane window separated by a splitter bar. The splitter bar can be either vertical or horizontal, but it is most commonly vertical.
One pane—commonly the left pane—displays the collection's records in a grid. The other pane displays details for a single IDO record in the collection (the item currently selected in the grid).
Multiview forms must contain a primary collection and can also contain one or more subcollections or secondary collections. Typically, the Grid View displays only the primary collection. When subcollections or secondary collections are included, the Detail View usually displays the primary collection in the upper part, and the lower portion displays the subcollection or secondary collection, often in a grid.
