Remarks

The View object allows you to create customizable views that allow you to better sort, group and ultimately view data of all different types. There are a variety of different view types that provide the flexibility needed to create and maintain your important data.

  • The table view type (olTableView) allows you to view data in a simple field-based table.

  • The Calendar view type (olCalendarView) allows you to view data in a calendar format.

  • The card view type (olCardView) allows you to view data in a series of cards. Each card displays the information contained by the item and can be sorted.

  • The icon view type (olIconView) allows you to view data as icons, similar to a Windows folder or explorer.

  • The timeline view type (olTimelineView) allows you to view data as it is received in a customizable linear time line.

Views are defined and customized using the View object's XML property. The XML property allows you to create and set a customized XML schema that defines the various features of a view.

Use Views(index), where index is the name of the View object or its ordinal value, to return a single View object.

Use the Add method of the Views collection to create a new view.

Always use Save to save a view after you change any property of the view.
