<p>To keep pages simple, plan to perform one task in a view. For example, a main view could contain a screen title, a graphic, and buttons for performing the main functions of the widget. If possible, display the content on the main screen. </p>
<div class="figure" id="GUID-98857411-2F0E-40F3-93E9-F819329CAC2F"><img src="GUID-15A1A393-FA24-4580-BD71-27E458AD392D_d0e2127_href.png"/><p class="figure-title"><strong>Figure: </strong>Example of a view</p></div>
<div class="note"><p><strong class="note_title">Note: </strong> Reserve space for softkeys at the bottom of the screen.</p></div>
<p>The widget package can only contain one HTML file. Use the <code>div</code> tag within the HTML file to create widget views. For more information, see <a href="GUID-C294F32D-CAC7-499C-AD4B-701B9AB57ACA.html#GUID-C294F32D-CAC7-499C-AD4B-701B9AB57ACA">Creating the widget HTML file</a>.</p>
