# Multiple (Linked) Views Methods

As discussed earlier, in multiple view methods, the interaction propagates across views.

The following are some reasons to use multiple linked views:

* they let us visualize different properties of the same data simultaneously
* we can use one view to navigate, select, filter information in the other view

The views can contain **different information** or **different representation** (or combinations of these i.e. same info - same representation, same info - different representation, different info - same representation, different info - different representation).

**Showing Different Information**

* one view contains a **subset** of the items in the other
* one view contains different **attributes** than the other
* the **granularity** of the views is different
* the **transformations** in the views are different

**Using Different Representations**

Views can use different representations for the same data, for example, one view can use a graphical representation while another view can use a tabular representation.
