Views Administration
| Administrator Guide > Desktop and Ribbon Bar > Views Administration |
Views are used to group similar for end users to view and work. They can serve as ad-hoc queues and supply users with another route to get to the information they need to work. For example, if you want to see all people that have birthdays this month, and do not want to create another queue, simply create a view to display the people and work them as necessary.
All views share common attributes that are defined while creating, copying, and editing a view.
General attributes are located on the General tab:
| Attribute | Description | ||
| Name | Enter a name for the new view in the name field. This is a required field. | ||
| Description | If necessary, enter a description for the new view. | ||
| View Type | Select a View Type from the drop down. The type that is selected determines what fields are displayed within the Choose Fields tab and Determine Criteria tab. | ||
| Advanced View |
Select the Advanced View check box to build an advanced view. Advanced views allow for 2 or more view types to be displayed within a view. Selecting this option disables the Determine Criteria tab.
|

The field list is a feature used throughout the Lifecycle Management Suite to define the fields to display on reports, views, and exports. It is also used in criteria building for reports, views, exports, and searches.
Each field selector window looks the same regardless of how it is accessed. In the below example, the field selector has been accessed through the Fields tab when creating a new report.
By default, the field selector opens in a tree format with expandable folders and sub-folders. When using the Field Tree format, click the arrow next to the folder name to expand or collapse. Expand the folders until the desired field has been found, or search for the field by entering any text into the search text box and hitting Enter on the keyboard. Click on the field to highlight it blue and double-click or select at the top of the field selector window to add it to the field list.
In the example below, the Account Information folder and the Balances sub-folder are expanded.
To change the view of the field selector from a tree to a search grid format, click the View drop-down and select Search Grid.
Locate the desired field by entering any search text into the text box and hit Enter on the keyboard. A list of results display including the field name and location.Click on the desired field to highlight it blue and double-click or select to add it to the field list.
