Creating a View from the Tools Menu

You can create a view from the Tools menu. This method allows you to automatically populate the view with columns from tables and other views.

1. [optional] Select one or more tables and views in the diagram. You can select multiple objects by holding down the Shift key while you select them.
2. Select Tools > Create View.

   If you have not selected any tables or views, then a selection box opens, allowing you to select the objects to be included in the view.

   
   
   
3. Select the appropriate objects and then click OK.

   A view symbol is displayed in the diagram. It displays all the columns in each of the tables and views selected for the view. The names for the tables and views appear at the bottom of the view symbol.
