Two we’ve seen before (`queryset` and `template_name`). The new one we haven’t see before is the `fields` attribute. * fields: specifies what fields from the model or queryset will be displayed on the rendered template. You can you set `fields` to `__all__` if you want to return all of the fields ## Example views.py queryset = Person.objects.all() fields = '__all__' template_name = 'rango/person_form.html' urls.py path('create_view/', views.myCreateView.as_view(), name='create_view'), \<template>.html {% extends 'base.html' %} <h1> {% block title %} {{ title }} {% endblock %} </h1> {% block content %} <h3>{{ type }} View</h3> <form action="." method="post"> {% csrf_token %} <table> {{ form.as_p }} </table> <button type="submit">SUBMIT</button> </form> {% endblock %} ## Diagram A visual representation of how `CreateView` is derived can be seen here:  ## Conclusion A simple way to implement a form to create items for a model.
