NexGEN gives you a fine degree of control over the appearance of registers and dialog boxes that list a selection of documents or other information. A set of appearance preferences for a register or dialog box is known as a view. A view is a combination of column, sorting and filtering preferences unique to a particular register. You can create new views, use views created by other users, or use the views predefined in NexGEN. Each register has its own set of views that do not apply to any other register type.
If you want to configure the number of rows displayed in a register, this setting is stored for each user for all registers in NexGEN.
There are three types of views. The following table explains the characteristics of each type.
View Type |
Characteristics |
Personal |
· Created by individual users. · Collaboration users cannot create personal views. · Only the creator can view, select, or manage a personal view. · Only available to the organization, program, or project in which they are created. This includes managed projects, which do not share personal views with other projects in the same program. |
Shared |
· Created by individual users. · Collaboration users cannot view or create shared views. · Anyone with access to Shared Views and the appropriate register can view, select, or manage a shared view. · Shared between projects in the same program, but not between standalone projects, programs, or the Organization workspace. · Example: Project A and Project B are in the same program, while Project C is a standalone project. A shared view is created for the RFI register of Project A. · The shared view is available in the RFI register of both Project A and Project B. · The shared view is NOT available in the RFI register of Project C. · The shared view is NOT available in the Contacts register for any project. |
You can access and manage the views you are permitted to use from the View drop down list in a register.
The View drop down list of a register displays the available views for the register.
