Types of Views

Horizon uses three types of views. Each type of view can affect either the list window, the edit window, or both. Horizon uses these types of views:

Search views. Search views reconfigure search windows. They differ slightly from other Horizon views because search windows are all list windows and are display-only. While you can access the view for a search window in the Table Editor, you cannot access the window itself in the Table Editor.

The Reserve Request window, which can be opened in staff searching, is an exception in that it does record information—it is not simply a display window. For this reason, its corresponding view is considered a Program Only View.

Program-only views. Program-only views reconfigure windows that appear in Horizon processes other than the New Search and Table Editor processes. (For example, the views that modify the CKI window in Circulation, the Edit Items window in Cataloging, and the PO window in Acquisitions are all program-only views.) While you can access program-only views in the Table Editor, you cannot display the views controlled by program-only views in the Table Editor.
General or Table Editor views. General or Table Editor views reconfigure the tables in the Table Editor and their corresponding edit windows. Some Table Editor tables, such as Code Lookup lists, can be opened from other processes in Horizon; however, since these lists are actually tables, their corresponding views are Table Editor views.
