Bases in the web UI are powered by saved views: JSON definitions stored under .kiwi/views/<name>.json. Each view stores a DQL query plus presentation metadata (columns, filters, sort, group_by, layout).
View definition
| Field | Purpose |
|---|
name | Stable identifier (matches the filename without .json). |
query | DQL string executed by the Dataview engine (same language as DQL). |
layout | One of table, list, calendar, kanban. |
columns | Optional column specs with property, label, optional formula, optional summary. |
filters | Structured filters (field, operator, value). |
sort | Sort keys (field, order: asc or desc). |
group_by | Optional grouping field for board-style layouts. |
kiwi-view: true) are separate from saved views; use POST /api/kiwi/view/refresh or the kiwi_view_refresh MCP tool for those.
