You can use the Views tab on the Explorer pane to create new grid views by selecting a table to add to the view, the fields to include in the view, sort order, and so on. After customizing the view, you can save the view to your Favorites list.
You can create ad hoc views for reviewing the data in any table or the schema underlying the table. Use this feature to access any table in the database; this is especially hand for accessing tables for which no corresponding task exists on the Smart Client Navigator.
If you are running Smart Client as part of an Archibus Cloud deployment, the Explorer's Views tab is hidden based on security groups. This enables administrators at your site to explicitly provide control as to who has access to the Views tab.
Cloud partner administrators (such as user AFM-BP) and cloud administrators (such as user AFM-CLI) can access the View tab because they are assigned to roles that are assigned the "%" security group.
To activate the View tab for specific security groups:
AbSystemAdministration
application. EnableSCViewsTab
to the desired security groups. Click Add, or, double-click the table.
The grid displays the selected table with a default set of fields. See Overwriting Default Grid Views for information on how the default fields are determined.

The list indicates whether the table can be used in the standard role or as a child table in this view.
Standard Table: If a table in the standard role is added, the command makes its key field and description field visible.
Child Table: If a child or drill-down table is added, the command adds the table as a child to the first table. Click the plus sign to see the child records. See Parent-Child Grid Views.
Note: If you are creating a view to import or export its data, be aware that data transfer exports only the fields in the main table. See Data Transfer Overview.
