View Definition Window

Toolbar and View Name -

  • Toolbar - A limited set of buttons is available, allowing you to perform a save or save as, to add or maintain filters, to hide or display view explorer, and to access help specific to working with views.

  • View Name - For new views, the name New View displays by default. For existing views, the name of that view displays. The name can be right-clicked to access a pop-up menu with a limited selection of actions such as Properties for new views and such as Delete and Properties for existing views.

Blank Grid Area - The content of this area varies:

  • New Views - Will be blank until you make an edit in view explorer or a properties window. Then this window displays. Click OK after you are done using view explorer and properties windows in order to run the view.

  • Existing Views - The Run View button displays initially. Click it to run the view if you decide not to make any edits or make edits that don't impact the grid contents (such as editing the view type or view group). Once you make an edit that impacts the grid, the above Apply Changes? prompt displays. Click OK after you are done using view explorer and properties windows in order to run the view.

View Explorer - Anytime you open the View Definition window, view explorer opens automatically with the folder for the view name selected by default. For new views, the rest of the folders will not have any objects in them until you add them. For existing views, existing objects will display in their respective folders.

Properties Window  - Anytime you open the View Definition window, the properties window for the view name opens by default.
