As the name already states, the View Test Environment enables you to test Views, without deploying them via Application Context Management. So it can and shall be used to perform a dry-run of created or modified views, e.g. to check the resulting objects of the different levels. But it can also be used to edit data in a hierarchical way. It not only allows the creation of objects via a context menu according to the view definition, but also the editing of properties of all objects once the changes were released with the UBIK® Compiler.
 | This control will exclusively display properties that were already compiled into the customizing assembly! |
