Hi Jaichander. I don't completely know if I understand exactly what
you're doing, but I'll try to answer your question. It sounds like you
want to display an HTML form in the canvas view that the user can use
to select one or more pieces of data for display in the profile view.
I understand this part. It sounds like you're using the persistence
API (e.g. newUpdatePersonAppDataRequest) to save the user's form
selection, which is great.
This is where I lose you. In the profile view, you can fetch the
user's saved data using newFetchPersonAppDataRequest, and then display
the appropriate data based on the user's previous selection. So you're
talking about two JavaScript functions here, one that updates the app
data (in the canvas view) and one that retrieves it (in the profile
view). So you can place these functions in their respective views.
Alternatively, you can use a "hybrid view" in addition to the two
content sections you've already specified to put markup and JavaScript
that's common to both views. Something like:
<Content type="html" view="profile">
<![CDATA[
<h1>Profile</h1>
]]>
</Content>
<Content type="html" view="canvas">
<![CDATA[
<h1>Canvas</h1>
]]>
</Content>
<Content type="html" view="canvas,profile">
<![CDATA[
<h2>This shows up in canvas and profile views</h2>
]]>
</Content>
This wiki page has more info.:

Please let me know if this doesn't completely answer your question. If
you can provide more details about what will actually be displayed in
the profile view and how this relates to the choices in the HTML form,
that might help a lot.
