Here is an initial description of how to make a view.

You can use views in Ontopoly to hide some of the fields on topic types in 
order to 
produce a simpler and less cluttered user interface. (Together with the 
embedded 
Ontopoly editor this can be very powerful indeed. Documentation of the embedded 
editor will follow.)

To create a view, go to the Description tab and turn on the administration 
mode. Go 
to Instances and pick "Field view". Create a new instance of this topic type, 
and 
give it the name of your new view. For each field you want to appear in the 
view, 
add it to "Field in view".

Some things to be aware of with views:

* A view does not apply to any specific topic type, but to the topic map in 
general.
It will appear on all applicable topic types.

* If a field is added to some view it will not appear in the default view. You 
can, 
however, add it explicitly to the default view, which will make it appear again.

Anyway, once you have added the fields you wish to see in the view you can 
navigate 
to a topic of some applicable type. On the right-hand side, under "Views" 
you'll see 
"Default" and your new view. Clicking on the new view will switch the page to 
that 
view.
