> I totally agree, and would love to see whiteboards (or specific sections of them) become more like data views (with filtering, colour coding, etc.).  
> The question then arises, if the layout is ‘fixed’ maybe it’s actually not a new feature of whiteboards, but actually a new type of data view (= ‘relation mind map view’) 🤔

> I love to see the progression on whiteboard view! Wondering if there are plans to upgrade whiteboard into a proper view. At the moment it is a weird mix between view and non view. (Not available in relation view, context filter, deleting doesn’t really delete, quickly creating entity of that database, etc.)

> Maybe a best of both worlds could be that within a whiteboard you can have a section which is a “proper view” filter in the section, apply context filters to the section, etc?

+1 to this. [Please vote on the feature request I made back in Feb for exactly this (having a whiteboard/mindmap “view”)](https://community.fibery.io/t/allow-whiteboards-to-be-views-in-relations-just-like-lists-tables-boards/5903)
