Configuring a dataset code component in a model-driven app

A dataset code component can be configured on various visualizations, such as a view, sub-grid, or a dashboard. Each of them has a different configuration process. First, we will look how to add a code component to a specific view of a table.

Adding a code component to a specific view of a table

This enhances the usability of the application. For example, you can have a calendar control on one view and a card control on another view for the same table.

The following steps will change the visualization of the My Active Contact view on the Contact table to a card view using the MyDataCard code component, which is of the dataset type, that we created in Chapter 5, Code, Test, and Repeat:
