This topic describes the list view features that are supported and unsupported in the Aptify web inteface. List views in the web interface are displayed in the same manner as the Aptify Desktop client.

Supported Features

The Aptify web interface supports the following Chart views functions, broken down by release:

Aptify 5.5.5

  • Creating a List View: The creation of list views is supported. See Using Views in the Web Interface for more details about the list view creation functionality.
