Hi Eva,
Thank you for your questions and I'd be happy to follow-up.

- Your observation is correct and on my demo website, I just created one page "My Dashboard".
The other links that you refer to are the single "CVs" post pages, which are available at:
hidden link
Whenever a new CV will be created through the "Add New CV" form, available at the "My Dashboard" page, a new "CVs" post will be created here.
If you'll go to WP Admin -> Toolset -> Content Templates ( hidden link ), you'll see two content templates:
a). CT for CVs - viewing:
This is the default content template that is assigned to a single "CVs" post when it is simply being viewed.
b). CT for CVs - editing:
This is the content template that is used when a single "CVs" post is being edited.
To better understand the usage of content templates, this guide will help:

- This will become more clear once you'll examine the contents of the content template "CT for CVs - viewing".
Your understanding of using the expert mode in form for showing fields in a table format is correct.
When you'll go to WP Admin -> Toolset -> Post Forms ( hidden link ), you'll see 4 forms in there.
For the "Add CV" and the "Edit CV" forms, I didn't need to switch to expert mode, since I didn't require any specific layout.
But for the other two forms "Add CV Record" and "Edit CV Record", I needed a more compact and inline field structure, so after creating the forms with the necessary fields, I switched to the expert mode and wrapped the fields inside the table HTML.
Note: For individual "CV Records" posts, I used custom fields for "Year", "Role", "Production" and "Director" and a taxonomy for the "Company".
To learn about adding custom post types, fields, and taxonomies, this guide will help:

> how did you mange to create a view as a table ? hidden link
- Again, this will become clearer, when you'll see how different blocks are set up in the content template "CT for CVs - viewing".
In that content template, you'll find a View block that is set to show all the "CV Records" posts related to the current CV post, in a table loop structure.
Here is a guide on using View block, to show the list of the desired posts:

Tip: I'll recommend completing some of the courses available in our documentation, to get familiar with basic Toolset features and terminologies:

After that, when you'll review the items available on my demo website, they'll start making more sense.

Waqar
