Creating a new view

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

1. Click Configuration Options > Project Settings, then navigate to the Data Views page.
2. On the views list, click + View.

   The Create View Definition dialog displays.

3. In the Display Name field, type a name for the view.
4. In the Description field, type a description of the view.
5. In the EQL text area, enter the view definition.

   For details on defining a view definition, see Guidelines 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 show or hide this list.

   You can use the attributes list as a reference as you compose the view definition. To add an attribute to the definition, you can also double-click or drag and drop the attribute from the list. Studio automatically adds quotes around the inserted attribute, in case the attribute name contains reserved characters in EQL.

   Note that if you include a base attribute that has locale-specific versions, then for those locale-specific versions to be available in the new view, you must manually include them in the view definition.

6. By default, when you save a new view, it is automatically published. To not publish the new view automatically, deselect the Publish when saving check box.
7. To validate the definition, click Validate.

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

8. To save the new view, click Save.

   If the view definition is valid, then the view is saved and can be published.

   If the view definition is not valid, then you are prompted to confirm that you want to save an invalid view. If you save the view, it is flagged as invalid and cannot be published.
