You can create several forms for any given model and can choose from
several widgets to represent the model's attributes (they correlate with
table columns)

You can choose freely which fields are shown in the form.

Several forms per model is possible. You can also embed forms of another
domain model  into an existing form. E.g. Visualize 1:n or m:n relations.
