Hi Eric,
Here are 2 types of view in SharePoint 2010, one is list view and the other is data view. They can create in following steps in SharePoint Designer.
- List view: Insert > Data View > Select your list directly.
- Data View: Insert > Data View > Empty Data View > Then select your list and fields.
And by default, we can filter list from list header in list view. But in data view, we need to enable “Header” option under Design tab on SharePoint Designer ribbon.
If you want to directly use list header, please create a list view web part instead.
Thanks & Regards,
Emir
