Characteristics of ADT View

This section will introduce some essential characteristics of ADT View.

• Several views can be created for an ADT. The original ADT (Original Table) and associated views are displayed in the View list in ADT Manager.
  

  Note: Original Table is the table created when the ADT is first built. The data in ADT is primarily defined in this original table, which will serve as the database for other views associated with this ADT.

• One of the views (including the original table) can be set as default. The default one will be marked by ‘Default’ in the View list.
  
• ADT View data may not be the full data of the original ADT but is a specific set of data extracted from the original ADT.
• Each view can have a chart to intuitively display specified data.
• Filter the rows and columns in a view.

Compared with original table, ADT view has the following differences:

• The original ADT data can be edited or updated, but ADT View is mainly read-only to end users. Users can’t change the original ADT data by changing view data.
• The order of the cell in one column in a view can be adjusted. However, compared with the original table, users can only do limited operations on intent column and dataset column in a view, and the operations on the column data only affect the data in the current view.
   
• When ADT is selected as the data source for automation, users can select the whole ADT data but cannot select only the part of data presented in the associated view.
