Views in ax 2009

Hi All,

I am New to Ax 2009 .For what all are purposes views are created . I have to understand at what situation views are needed

Please explain with example

Thanks

It’s a view at some data that looks like a simple table for consumers, although it may be quite complex behind - the data may be obtained from joined tables, use filters, grouping, joins etc.

Regardless of the complexity to get the data, you’ll end with something what looks exactly as a table and can be used in select statements, forms etc. - an excellent way to hide complexity and create a reusable component. Just don’t forget that data in views are only for viewing (= no writing).

You will find examples in AOT.
