content nodes or views?

When you create content, you also create a page with that content.

Today I added a date field and scheduled it to repeat so that I could use it in a calendar. However, when I look at the content page - it displays all the repeat dates and I only want the start date displayed. I can't seem to find a way to fix this on the content page, but I think I might be able to do it in a view.

Is the page that's created for content the page you're intended to use on the site, or are you supposed to create a view for that content type?

Thanks Guys! Really made some progress today.
