To inspect a view:

1. From Views, find a view that you want to inspect.
2. In the Actions column for the view, click , and then select Inspect.

3. Select from the options available on these tabs:

   • General: Click Edit to change these view settings:
     • Summary: Change the name, description, or status for the view. See Understanding the Lifecycle of Data Objects and the Data Chain.

       • Active—When a view is created, its status is set to Active.

       • Archived—When you no longer need a view, you can set its status to archived. See Archiving and Deleting Views.

     • Display: Specify which users are able to see this view on the Views page. See Configuring How a View is Displayed in the Views List.
     • Requests:
       • For certain request types that are created for the view, you can specify whether the request description is required to be manually entered (for example, to capture a business justification for the request) or automatically generated:
         • Defaulted: Request descriptions are automatically generated for all request types but can be optionally overwritten by users.
         • Required: Request descriptions are automatically generated only for request types that can be auto-submitted (Subscription, Import, and Load).

           For Interactive and Consolidation requests, users must enter a description before these request types can be submitted. Use the Placeholder field to customize the instructional text that is displayed in the description field on a request (for example, to enter a short description of the information that users should include in the request description).

       • Attach Request Files for Approvers, Committers, and Notified Users: Enable this setting to automatically include a file attachment that contains all of the request items in a request to the notification emails that get sent to approvers, committers, and notified users.

         Caution:

         The file attachment to the email will contain all of the request items in the request, regardless of the recipient's data permissions in Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Data Management.

         Note:

         This setting is visible only if a Service Administrator has enabled the system setting Attach Request Files for Approvers, Committers, and Notified Users. See Configuring System Settings.
