Double click on the view associated line to access the edit form. You can update the view’s name and description.

Warning

The view’s name and the English description are mandatory and cannot be empty.

You can type a view: Transactions or Workflow Tasks. According to its type, the view is used either by Transactions or by Workflow Tasks.

You will also be able to edit the XML definition (more details here). It is validated on the save by the Views service configuration loader.

The view is not saved if the XML is invalid.

Warning

If you update the service’s database (eg: create a new view, update a view …), you’ll need to restart the Transactions service using the service lifecycle header to take the changes into account.

Index the view

When editing a view you have access to an Index view data button. If it’s active then some modification on the indexes are required on the database.

When clicked, it will start the indexation process, deleting the previous unused indexes, and creating new ones.

Note

In any case you can force index creation by clicking the orange Force index view data button.

Warning

If there is already a job creating the indexes for that view, an error message will be displayed.
