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. Navigate to the File menu and select Create a new view

   

2. Select a data source and table for the view to query for data, then select Next

   

3. Give the view a name, and select the type of view. Optionally, you can check the option Add the new view to Favorites to automatically add it to your personal favorites menu. Click OK

   

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.
