Creating a new empty view

One option for creating a new view is to create a new empty view.

On the View Manager, to add a new view to the selected data source:

  1. On the views list, click New View.

    The Create View Definition dialog is displayed.


    Create View Definition dialog when initially displayed
  2. In the Display Name field, type a name for the view.
  3. In the EQL text area, enter the view definition.

    For details on defining a view definition, see Rules for using EQL to define a view.

    To the right of the text area is the Available Attributes list, which contains the list of base attributes. You can use this list as a reference as you compose the view definition. You can show or hide this list.

  4. To validate the definition, click Validate.

    If the definition is not valid, then Studio displays error messages to help you troubleshoot the definition.

  5. To save the new view, click Load.
