What is a good term to describe different ways to view the same data?

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?
