Views are used to create the structure for modules with Lucity Web. A view controls which records are displayed out of a module and then displays it in its related grid. Records that are displayed in a grid might have children records. These records are displayed in child grids. Because a view controls what data is displayed, it controls which child grids are displayed.
The View Builder is used to setup a view, assign which levels of data are displayed, and which grid or form is displayed for each level of data.

A descriptive name of what the view displays or is used for. This name will be displayed in Lucity Web unless the Alternate View Name is filled out. |

Alternate View Name |
This is an alias name for the view and is displayed in Lucity Web. |
