So we have tile view, thumbnail view, timeline view, map view, tabular
view, an experimental scatter plot view, and a pivot table view. For the
latter two, see this example:

Exhibit is extensible, which means that you can program new kinds of
view, although that requires programming.
There is some interest in making more charts kind of view, e.g.,

I'm not sure what you need. It seems that our various examples already
show how you can display the records in rows. Have you had a chance to
go through the Lenses section of this tutorial?
http://simile.mit.edu/wiki/Exhibit/Getting_Started_Tutorial#Lenses
There's also some more information on lenses here

Remember, whenever looking at another exhibit, you can just look at its
HTML code to see how things are done. In Firefox, that's Ctrl-U, or menu
View -> Page Source. Just copy and paste, then adapt.
