NOTE: Some database platforms offer more properties than others that can be applied to physical view
definitions.
In the View Editor you can select specific attributes from entities on the Entities tab or specific columns from tables on
the Tables tab to include in the view. In the View Editor, you can reorganize the column order in the view and add
notes and descriptions to your view. You can also add Pre and/or Post SQL that generate immediately prior to or after
the CREATE OBJECT statement.
1 In the Data Model Explorer, expand the node of the model to which you want to create a view.
2 Right-click the Views node and then click New View.
TIP: You can also create a view by selecting the tables in the Data Model Window that you want to
include in the view and then selecting Insert > View. Clicking anywhere in the Data Model Window
will create a new view that is comprised of the tables you selected. Double-click the view to edit
its properties.
3 Complete the areas of the View Editor and then click OK to implement the changes to the view.
TIP: After you have created the view, you can edit it by right-clicking the view and then clicking Edit
View from the shortcut menu.
TIP: The status bar at the bottom of the screen shows the total number of views in the selected model
or submodel.
