    One of the great things about Views in Domo is that they update automatically whenever the underlying dataset changes. This is super handy if you're using a Form in App Studio and want to see the results instantly. You can create a View based on your form’s dataset, build a card on top of that View, and the card will refresh automatically right on your App Studio page—no need to reload anything! It really makes the whole process smooth and seamless.
