Contents
Creating the View instance
- Navigate to the MetaClass View via the Class Browser
- Create a new instance using the Bulk Editor
- Set at least name and description
Configuring the View
Defining root objects
- Relate single root objects via
SYSREL VIEWROOT or a query fetching a list of objects via SYSREL VIEWROOTQUERY
Defining hierarchy levels
- Relate a set of ViewItems to the View via SYSREL VIEW
Testing the View
- Save all changes with Ctrl+S or the save command
- Test the view in the View Test Environment.
