Maintain signal views

A signal view specifies the following for the Product-Event Combinations table:

  • Which columns are included, and in what order.
  • The sort order of columns.
  • The SQL WHERE clause that selects product-event combinations (shown on the Rename Signal View page).

Typically, an organization has predefined standard views. Additional views can be added by the user by the Save a product-event combinations as a new view option.

Users with Manage Signal Views permission are able to open Manage Signal Views page. They can organize, publish, rename, and delete views created by the user, views created by other users in their login group, as well as views published to their login group.

Users without Manage Signal Views permission are able to open Manage Signal Views page. They can rename and delete views that they created.
