You can choose an authority field that changes the user view depending on the term.
For example, you have set up a Registrarial User View for Object, but want the system to display different fields depending on the Department the object belongs to. You could create a Perspective with the Department as the controlling field. When the department is Natural Science, the User View will display fields that are useful for Natural Science objects. When the department is Social History, the User View will display different fields that are useful for Social History objects.
Department is the most commonly used field to control User Views. However, you can use Classification, Procedural Status or other fields to control User Views as well. For example when a view is controlled by Procedural Status, you may create differing perspectives for Considered Items, Accessioned Items and Deaccessioned Items.
