What should be added to the application before the fields to avoid errors?

Adding views to an application before the fields is crucial for ensuring that users can properly visualize and interact with the data. Views serve as the interface through which users engage with the data fields, allowing them to see and manipulate the information effectively. By setting up views initially, you provide a structured layout for how data will be presented, ensuring consistency and reducing the likelihood of user errors stemming from misinterpretation of the data structure.

Layouts focus on the arrangement of fields but are secondary to having functional views in place. Choices pertain to the specific values that fields can hold and are relevant but do not address the overall layout and presentation aspects. Object types define the kind of data that the application will handle, which is necessary for the structure but does not directly impact user interaction until views are established. Therefore, introducing views before fields helps create a user-friendly experience that minimizes potential errors during data entry and interaction.
