A view can be opened in one of the following ways:

1.)Select a view and press the Open Button in the View Manager's Tool Bar.  
2.)Double click on any view in the List View of View Manager.  
3.)Click on any view node in the Tree View.  

Once a view is opened, you will see the following screen:

Figure 1: Opened View


The above figure shows you an opened view. The right side of the figure is a data grid, which will display you the records according to the query that was constructed according to the filters that you applied while creating this view. The columns displayed are those that you selected while creating a view. They are also displayed in the order in which you have placed them while creating the view. The header text is the text that you assigned as the display name.

When you open up a view, it will display the columns with default width values. If you want to change the column width, simply drag the column and make the width according to your choice. This width would now be saved permanently for you so that even if you close the application and open it once again on the next day, you will see the new widths of the column so that you don't have to adjust them every time.

When a view is opened, there are two aspects that need to be explained: First is the Event View form and second is the Tree View itself. The following sections will explain both.
