View Attributes

A view is a collection of name/value pairs that are assembled from one or more objects stored in the repository, or read from resources. The value of a view attribute can be atomic, such as a string, a collection such as a list, or reference to another object.

Whenever you create or modify a user account from the Waveset Administrator or User Interfaces, you are indirectly working with the User view. Workflow processes also interact with the User view. When a request is passed to a workflow process, the attributes are sent to the process as a view. When a manual process is requested during a workflow process, the attributes in the user view can be displayed and modified further.

Working with views is extensively documented in the Views chapter of Deployment Reference.
