Abstract

The system obtains messages including multiple properties, such as a sender, a receiver, and content. The system creates a database to store the messages and presents the database in a user interface including a table including rows and columns. The database can be customized by including a custom column among the multiple columns. The system customizes the user interface by creating custom views of the database. The system receives an indication to create a view of the multiple messages, where the indication to create the view includes a criterion to select a subset of messages from the messages. The system creates the view including multiple layouts configured to visually provide important information associated with the subset of messages.
