Software gives us different ways to view the exact same data with each "view" targeted at a specific task.
For example, in Stack Exchange, questions can be viewed in
- The review queue where you only see questions listed which need to be reviewed
- The main question list where everything is listed
- Edit history pages where you can see and compare every version of a question
- Mods have access to vote fraud tools
- etc
Every one of those "views" is highly customized for the task at hand showing only those pieces of the data that matter at that moment.
Is there a good term to describe this feature without all the long winded explanation?

@just.another.programmer I think you're missing the forest for the trees- there's nothing confusing or technical about the term "view." Re-naming it to something else would almost certainly induce confusion, after which a non-technical person would probably realize that you were referring to what he knew to be the view. The conceptual view is named after the physical view, in which objects can appear or drop from your sight; the components of the scene haven't changed, you relative position has.

One could say that the services you have enumerated are all abstractions of the single underlying relational database.
- The quality of dealing with ideas rather than events
- The process of considering something independently of its associations or attributes
The word also has special meaning in the context of computer systems/programming.
In computer science, abstraction is the process of separating ideas from specific instances of those ideas at work

if people who steal for example are labeled thieves imprisoned in the company of others who have stolen shunned upon their release and denied opportunities to work because they are not trusted they likely will find themselves in a position in which further stealing is a practical necessity that fits the generally acted view of who they are
how would you put this in your on word

Techies often call these different views.

On StackExchange? Perhaps drill down report(s). If it's more graphical, you might use infographic.

@FumbleFingers I'm looking for a term that non techies will understand easily.

@FumbleFingers - not really true. We would only use this in database talk.

@just.another.programmer I think you're missing the forest for the trees- there's nothing confusing or technical about the term "view." Re-naming it to something else would almost certainly induce confusion, after which a non-technical person would probably realize that you were referring to what he knew to be the view. The conceptual view is named after the physical view, in which objects can appear or drop from your sight; the components of the scene haven't changed, you relative position has.
