What should be added to an application before adding layouts and fields?

Before adding layouts and fields to an application, views should be established. Views play a crucial role in structuring the way information is presented within the application. They dictate how users will interact with the data and determine the layouts that display data effectively. Having views in place allows for a clear visualization framework, ensuring that fields can be organized properly and users can navigate the application optimally.

In contrast, while documentation pages provide guidance, they do not influence the structural setup of the application in relation to layouts and fields. Object types are essential for defining different data entities, yet they typically come into play after views, as the views are tailored to present these objects. Dynamic fields enhance the functionality of existing layouts but should be integrated only after the foundational views and layouts are set up. Hence, views are the primary element that should be established before proceeding to add layouts and fields in an application.
