Once you’ve [created a new View](https://www.gravitykit.com/docs/gravityview/getting-started-gravityview/getting-started-choosing-a-form-and-a-view-layout/) and linked it to an existing form in Gravity Forms, the next step is to choose a View layout.

Depending on your [license](https://www.gravitykit.com/pricing/), you can choose from up to 5 different layouts.

- The *GravityView* license includes the **Table,** **List** and **Layout Builder** View types
- The *GravityView Pro* license includes the **Table**, **List**, **Layout Builder**, **DataTables**, **Maps**, and **DIY** layouts

**Note**: If one of the View layouts isn’t showing up, even though you have the correct license, it may be because you haven’t installed the required plugin. For instructions on how to do this, see [Installing, Activating, and Updating GravityKit Plugins](https://www.gravitykit.com/docs/general-help/licensing/managing-your-licenses/).

## Differences Between View Layouts

**Table View**: Displays your Gravity Forms data in a table layout. This view works well for dense data or data that is mostly numerical.

It's like a visual page builder, but for your Gravity Forms data!
