Displaying a Predefined DataView

Use the DataViews form to launch the DataView Results form and view predefined DataViews and layouts. Predefined DataViews are DataViews that have been set up for specific uses in the system. You can use the results on these DataViews to drive ad hoc reporting.

To display a predefined DataView:

  1. Open the DataViews form.
  2. To display the list of predefined DataViews, execute Filter In Place.
  3. Select a DataView from the list.
  4. If multiple layouts exist for the DataView, select a layout.

    To help determine which layout to view, examine the column values for each layout:

    Column Description

    Default When more than one layout exists for the same scope type and name, this field is selected for the layout that takes precedence .
  5. To open the DataView Results form for the selected DataView layout, click Launch.
