# Creating & organising views

{% hint style="success" %}
**KEY TERMS**&#x20;

A **View** is a **subset of a project**, defined by **logical conditions** based on the concepts it inherits. Each view can also define its **own set of concepts**, creating a **hierarchical visual ontology**.

* A **Root View** is the entry point of this hierarchy. It has **no conditions** and therefore applies to **all images in the project**.
* **Parent and Child Views** are connected through **logical dependencies**: a **Child View** is defined by conditions applied to the **concepts of its Parent View**. As a result, a Child View applies only to a **subset of the Parent View’s images**.
  {% endhint %}

## Create a new View

#### Root View

To create a root view, you need to click on **Add a root view** if it's your first root view, or on **Create a root view** if you have already created one. You then need to choose a name for it.

{% hint style="info" %}
A root view concerns all the images that have been added to the project.
{% endhint %}

#### Child View

To create a child view, there are two possibilities:

* you can click on **Create a view** at the bottom of a column, this will create a new child view with the same parent view as the other views of the column.
* you can click directly on the + button of a given view. This given view will automatically be the parent view of the view you create.&#x20;

**View Sources**

When you create a child view, you must specify conditions based on the concepts of the parent view to select the images that will be added to the view you are creating.

* when the parent view is a detection or tagging view, then you can use AND or OR conditions, and choose the concepts on which you want to filter.

![The child view applies to images that have been annotated in the parent detection view with both snowboard and traffic light concepts.. ](https://content.gitbook.com/content/gmfYsBwyGGbiAMWJv9xC/blobs/niFo49qTxvo6azHrbAZo/Capture%20d%E2%80%99e%CC%81cran%202020-10-28%20a%CC%80%2014.52.51.png)

#### View Type

You then need to select the type of view you want to create:

* **Classification:** each image is labeled with exactly one concept and all concepts are then exclusive.
* **Tagging:** each image is labeled positively or negatively for all concepts. A single image can then validate several concepts (or none).
* **Detection:** concepts are localised in the image with bounding boxes. The information is then much richer as you can get several instances of a same concept in the image.

For more information on the different kinds of views, see our [Guidebook on how to build your custom AI](https://www.deepomatic.com/guidebook) or [our blog post series "AI for Dummies"](https://blog.deepomatic.com/en/ai-for-dummies-1-4/41/).
{% endhint %}

#### Concepts

You need to specify the concepts that you want to recognize. You can do so by clicking on **New concept** and by giving a name to your new concept. Don't worry, you can add more concepts and/or edit them after you have ended the project creation process.&#x20;

You can also use existing concepts by importing a JSON file in which the concepts and images are defined. To do so, you must precise the field "tags" in the JSON. Check the [JSON Upload page](/platform-documentation/deepomatic-drive/adding-and-managing-data/adding-images/upload-images-text-file.md#json-format) to know more about the JSON format accepted.

## View Homepage

When entering a view, you access a screen where you can navigate through your Views and understand the hierarchy between all the Views.
