System Administrator Scenarios › How to Set Up Partitions › Modify Views for a Partition

Modify Views for a Partition

Views determine how information displays in the product for a specific object. You can determine the attributes that display for the object and the arrangement of attributes on the page. Each object has the following default views:

Properties

Lets a user enter information for an object instance. For example, the properties view for the project object lets a user enter information for a specific project.

List Column

Displays the instances of an object in rows and columns.

List Filter

Lets a user search for information about the list column page.

If a partition does not have views for an object, the partition inherits the object views of the nearest ancestor partition. If no ancestor partitions have views for the object, the partition uses the System partition views.

Best Practice: Define partitioned views for objects at the top of the partition model first. For example, if you are using a geographical partition model with World at the top and United States and Europe as children partitions, define the World views first.

Follow these steps:

1. Open Administration, and from Studio, click Objects.
2. Click the name of the object whose views you want to modify for a partition.
3. In the object properties, verify that a partition model is assigned to the object.

   If a partition model is not assigned, assign the correct partition model to the object.

4. Click Views.

   The list of views for the object appears.

5. In the Partition field above the list, select the partition to which the view modifications apply.
6. Use the view links to modify the layout of the object for the selected partition.
