Viewing or Modifying View Properties

View or change view properties including the comment, SQL view definition (including the column definition), and permissions. Modifying a view changes the definition of the view but does not change data inside the view.

In the left pane, expand IQ Servers > Schema Objects > Views, and then select Views.
Select a view from the right pane and either:
- Click the arrow to the right of the name and select Properties, or
- From the Administration Console menu bar, select Resource > Properties.
The View Properties view appears.

View or modify the properties.

When you are modifying properties, you need not click Apply before changing screens; however, doing so saves any changes.
