Views

[TOC]

What is a view?

A View is very similar to the [Reports]( ) in DGS, its main function is to display data to the User in an easy to read format.

The main feature that differs Views from [Reports]( ) is the fact that Views show mainly live data (Ex. Viewing Production from the currently running shift.). Although this is highly configurable. Because the data on a view is live and periodically refreshed the user will not have access to a [shift selector]( ). However many of the [Reports]( ) that allow a user to view historical data can be accessed from a view with the use of buttons. Buttons can be placed anywhere on a View and can trigger many user activated actions including, opening a [Report]( ), opening an Input, opening a Schedule, or switching to another View or DGS module.

The View Tool Bar

The View toolbar consists of 3 buttons and is located beneath the [tabs]( ) section.

The functions of the buttons are as follows :

Icon	Name	Description
	Print	Use this button to print out whichever pages of the report you want. The file will be in the PDF format when sent out.
	Refresh Page	Use this button to refresh the report data, using any parameters you have changed. Is only visible in the toolbar when the [shift/date selector]( ) is not active
	Enable / Disable Debug	Use This button to enable and disabling the debugger on the report. Note : Can be visible when in Design mode().
