Add Entity Action Views

Use the Action Diagram to add an entity view to the import, export, or entity action view subsets:

1. Specify the entity action view subset as parent view subset for the view
2. Specify the subject entity type or subtype
3. Name the entity view
4. Create any missing attributes for the view
5. Specify attributes

A useful convention, when the entity action view set contains only one view of a particular entity is to leave the entity action view unnamed. This can significantly reduce the wordiness of WHERE clauses in complex READ statements.

The Consistency Check facility checks entity views for conformance with the following rule:

Each entity action view should be used in the action block.
