How it works...

We'll look at the arch field of the ir.ui.view model. Here, everything that the user sees happens.

It is also mandatory that your view definition contains well-formed XML, otherwise you'll get in trouble when loading this snippet.

Now, we'll walk through the tags used previously and summarize the others that are available.
