The scheduler grid enables you to tailor custom views, displaying data categorized, filtered, and organized according to your specific criteria and requirements. Customized views allow users to focus on what they need, streamlining data analysis and improving decision-making.
- Each view is constructed with filter rules and/or grouping rules to pick and show the appropriate rows with a desired organization.
- You can share the views you create with other users in the construction team by setting up access rights.
- You can also access the views created by other users and shared with you
To manage views
