Creating a View in the Aptify 5.5.1 Web Interface

In Aptify 5.5.1, the web interface includes support for the creation of List views through the web client. For other view types, users will need to create the views using the Aptify Desktop client. Additional details on creating views and view types can be found in Using the Viewing System.

Example: Creating a List View

Follow these steps to create a list view in Aptify:

  1. Open the Service for which you want to create a view and locate the More Actions button.
  2. Select Create View from the drop-down menu.

  3. Complete the Name, Entity Base View, and Description, as desired.

    Note

    For View Type, while additional options may display, only List View is supported in this release.

     

    • Leaving the Entity Base View field blank creates a view using the entity's default base view.
       
  4. Review and update the Fields you want to include in the view.

    • To remove a field, highlight the field line and select Delete.
    • To add additional fields, scroll to the bottom to select a blank line, or choose an existing field to modify, click the name area on the field line and select a new field from the drop-down.
