Manage views

Why are views interesting?

Views are a way to save altogether:

  • The code of the dataset to which the view applies;

  • The settings currently selected in the Selection tab;

  • The format options currently selected in the Format tab;

  • The current sorting parameters.

You can thus use views to visualize your data in the same way, at a later stage.

How to create/save views?

Click on the save icon to save the selected view options as a "custom view":

In case you refused the Data Browser cookies, when clicking on "Save view" the window is displayed:

  • Click on Save and accept cookies button to save the view. This will automatically change the previously selected option to refuse the cookies.

  • Click on I refuse cookies button to keep the option previously selected. This will close the window and the view will not be saved.

  • Click on Cancel button to disregard the action.

Saved custom views are stored locally in the web browser storage, and may be lost if the browsing data is cleaned up.

Use the Current view menu above the visualisation area:

  • Click on  to delete the view
