Using a component with Views

Drupal Views is both:

• a query builder: fetch content from the database, with filters, sorts and grouping.
• a display builder: present the results as lists, galleries, tables, maps, graphs, reports...

You need to activate ui_patterns_views sub-module.

• the table and not the rows
• the slider and not the slides

• the mosaic and not the pictures
