Summary

Directus offers a versatile range of data visualization and management tools through its Layouts feature, which is integral to the Directus Core product. These Layouts, available as extensions within the Data Studio, allow users to browse, manage, and visualize various types of data, including text, media, geospatial, and temporal data. The built-in layouts—Table, Cards, Calendar, Maps, and Kanban—are highly configurable, enabling users to search, filter, import/export data, and bookmark preferred configurations. Each layout is tailored to specific data types, with the Table layout handling rows and columns, the Cards layout focusing on media files, the Calendar layout organizing temporal data, the Maps layout displaying geospatial information, and the Kanban layout managing workflow data. These features, combined with Directus's open-source and extensible nature, empower users to customize and create new layouts, ensuring a flexible and tailored data management experience.
