Working with views
In
MainView Explorer
and windows mode, data is displayed in views. You can refresh and lock views, filter views, and customize views. You can create customized views for your own screen data set, or for a site data set to be shared by everyone.
You can work with views in the following ways:
- Refreshing and locking views
You can refresh the data in a view manually or automatically. Setting a view to automatically refresh itself is a convenient way to continually monitor information. Locking a view lets you study the data in the view at a particular point in time.
For more information, see Refreshing-view-data-in-MainView-Explorer, Locking-and-updating-data-in-views, and Refreshing-view-data-in-windows-mode. - Filtering views
Filtering a view lets you see only the data that you want to see. You can filter the view's query, the view's form, or both.
For more information, see Filtering-data-in-a-view-in-MainView-Explorer and Filtering-data-in-a-view-in-windows-mode. - Customizing views
You can reorder the columns in a view, add or delete columns, add hyperlinks, change headings, change colors, set thresholds, and so on. You can save customized views for future use.
For more information, see Customizing-data-display-in-MainView-Explorer and Customizing-data-display-in-windows-mode.
