When configuring a component, you select the view to use for the component data.
Most components are tied to a specific view from the application data sets. Other components can be associated with more than one view. For example, for the Map component, each map layer is tied to a view. For the Summarization Bar component, each summary item is tied to a view.
Components used for filtering (Available Refinements and Search Box), and components that display a flat list of records (Data Explorer) are always tied to base views.
On the component edit view, to select the view to use:
-
Click the
Data Selection tab for the component or
sub-component.
The tab contains the list of views for the application. If a view is not valid for the current component or sub-component, then it is disabled. For example, for the Map component, views that do not include a geocode attribute cannot be used for a map layer.
In addition to the view name and description, the view list includes whether the view is a base or custom view, the data sets the view is created from, and the identifying attributes for the view.
