Overview

A view is always based on a table and may include data from related tables as well. When you create a new view, it starts off as a list with no filter and includes all the fields of the table upon which this view is based.

A view is automatically created the first time you click on a table in a list of tables for a data source. Once a table has at least one view, clicking on a table will open an existing view.

Creating a New View

To create a new view:

The new view is created and displayed, and you can start making changes to it. Changes are automatically saved.

Cloning a View

Another way of creating a new view is by cloning an existing view.
