Creating a New View

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:

1. in the menu select Explore -> Data Sources and Tables
2. select a data source to list its tables
3. using the context menu (right-click or touch) on the desired table, select Create View. You can right-click anywhere on the row
4. give it a name
5. if you don't want the new view to be added the Favorites, uncheck the option "Add the new view to Favorites"
6. click OK

The new view is created and displayed. You may now make changes to it. Changes are automatically saved.

Cloning a View

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