Save Views

Use the Save View Definition dialog box to specify the name of the view, its directory, and the library file where you want to save the active view. You can save the modifications you make to a view as a new view, or you can replace the current view with your modified view.

To save a view

  1. Open and edit the current view.
  2. Select Save from the View group in the Project ribbon.

    The View Definition Save Query dialog box opens.

  3. Click one of the following:
    Create

    Creates a new view without altering the existing view.

    The Save View Definition dialog box opens.

    Replace

    Replaces the view with your changes.

    The view is saved and the View Definition Save Query dialog box closes.

  4. If you are creating a new view, complete the following fields:
    Save In

    Select the directory in which you want to save the current view.

    File name

    Defines the name of the view file.

    Files list

    Displays the name of the view file to which you want to save.

    Save as type

    Defines the type of file you want to save the view.

    Note: When you save a view, a file name is assigned to the view using the following convention:

    filename.rwv
    
    Library Group

    Defines the name of the group in which you want the view to appear. This determines the view's placement on the Library.

  5. Click OK.

    A new view file is created and saved. The Save View Definition dialog box closes.
