Working with Views

A view is a set of data parameters that you define on a Detail window. You can use saved views to quickly display information without having to set up the parameters each time you want to view the data.

For example, you may want to create a view that specifies your main store, the plumbing department, and month-to-date and year-to-date sales information as parameters. Then, you can save this view and view it later.

Once you customize a view you can save it, then open it later for viewing.

To save a view

  1. Customize the view you wish to save.

  2. On the File menu, click Save View.

  3. In the Desc box, type a description of the view.

  4. Click Save.

To open a view

  1. On the File menu, click Open View.

  2. In the Open View window, click the view you want to use.

  3. Click Open.
