Creating a View is a 3 step process to display a collection of your content and give access to it. Prior to creating a View, you will find it easier to have uploaded a sample of different Artefacts with which to experiment when designing your first layout.

Mahara guides you through the view creation process with a wizard that lets you select and arrange different blocks around the screen.

The types of blocks available include

• Blogs – show selected posts from your blog or your entire blog
• External feeds – content from RSS web addresses
  
• Files images and video – from your file storage area or external video addresses
  
• General – Text box allows content to be created and formatted with editor
  
• Profile – selected information from your profile in Mahara
  
• Resume – selected information from your resume in Mahara
