Views

   

What is a View?

   
  SRS uses views to determine which data types are shown. A view may include only a few data types, or it may display all available types of data.

In addition to the predefined views which are part of SRS you can create your own views. A view can be defined to work with a specific databank, or with several databanks. The data in a view could be from one or more databanks.

For convenience, views can be categorized as "predefined views" and "project views" (see section 5.3 "Creating Views"). Predefined views are the default views that are available to everybody using an SRS server. Some of these are designed to work with specific databanks and will only be available when they are appropriate. Project views are views that you define, using the View Manager page (see section 5.3.2 "Creating Views using the View Manager Pages").
