You can create multiple views to show different aspects of your model. As models grows larger, it can be difficult to keep track of everything in a single view. Additional views can for example illustrate the network topology dataflows.
Objects can be in multiple views at the same time to visualize them in various contexts.

Views are a part of your models and their layout will be saved with your model.
