Assigning Alternate Views to View Sets

You organize the alternate views that you have created into view sets. (For example, you could create a view set to include all alternate views for temporary staff.)

Alternate views assigned to a user’s view set are exceptions and do not represent a user’s entire set of views. In other words, Horizon does not limit a user to view only those alternate views assigned to their view set—a user has access to all views that their passkey and user name allows. In order to display the alternate view for a user, Horizon checks to see if an alternate view exists for that view, and if so, Horizon displays the alternate view rather than the standard view.

To assign alternate views to view sets

1 Open the view_set (Horizon View Definitions) view in the Table Editor.

Horizon displays the List View Sets window.

2 Click New.

Horizon displays the Edit View Sets window:

3 Complete these fields as necessary:

Field

Action

View Set

Enter the name of the view set.

This field has a 30-character limit.

Descr

Enter a description of the view set.

This field has a 255-character limit.

Alternates group

1 In the Std Mq View field, enter or choose the code for the standard view that you want to use.

For example, if you created an alternate borrower view, you would enter “borrower” as the standard view.

Note: You must enter both the standard and alternate view names as part of the view set in order for Horizon to determine whether to display the standard or alternate view for a particular user.

2 In the Alt Mq View field, enter or choose the code for the alternate view that corresponds to the standard view.

For example, if you created an alternative view for the borrower standard view, you would enter the name of the alternate view in this field.

4 Save your changes.
