About PMO Accelerator Object Views

An object view determines how information displays for that object on a page. The following object views are available in CA Clarity PPM:

When you install the PMO Accelerator, some object views are reinstalled to display information in a different way than the default CA Clarity PPM installation.

If you previously used CA Clarity PPM Studio to configure the CA Clarity PPM views, these configurations do not change. They are not overwritten by new or changed content during the PMO installation. Use the information provided in this section to compare the PMO views with the default CA Clarity PPM views. You can then decide whether to change your existing CA Clarity PPM configurations, or to apply the new PMO content.
