This is the name that is shown to end users, in the Views drop-down on the top left side of the component. It is also the name that you see when you are on the Views page, and at the top of all other Display Wizard pages.
NOTE: View names support the use of the
following special characters:
:{}[]\|=+asdf!@#$%^&**())_'";;
The view Description is optional, but can be helpful to your users. When a user hovers over a view name in the Views drop-down on the component’s toolbar, the description you provide here is displayed in a pop-up. If no description is provided on this page, the pop-up will not be displayed.
The Image URL is optional, but can be helpful to your users. When a user looks at the available views in the component, the image shown here will be displayed as an icon. The Image URL field supports relative and hard-coded URLs. When the URL is entered, the image will be displayed in the sample box to the right of the field.
There are three available view types for a Grid Display:
•Standard View – A basic display that contains SharePoint data.
•Advanced View – A display that contains data fed from an Advanced component or an XML data source.
•Parent-Child View – A Grid Display that shows the contents of two or more related SharePoint lists at once, one defined as the parent list and one or more defined as the child of grandchild list, which share at least one column of common data.
The most common type of view is the Standard View, so that is what is discussed in the following sections. Click here for details on creating an Advanced View, or click here for details on creating a Parent-Child View.
