Views vs. Apps

I'm VERY new to Smart Suite. I've been able to make different views of the same data and new apps. What I'm having trouble with is determining which one is the best practice.

Short background: The data I'm working with tracks the in and out of student records and enrollment.

My instinct is to have all the core data saved in one view and create a variety of views from that. Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks for any ideas!

Sheila
