Logical View Maintenance Window
The Logical View Maintenance window allows you to link columns, a default printer, and other
characteristics (such as lock columns and lock headings) to a specific user. Logical Views are used
to tailor VISTA Plus to a specific user’s needs. Each report in the system can be setup differently
for each user that will read the report. Use logical views to set up page-level security.
When VISTA Plus is executed, it looks to see if a logical view has been defined. When searching
for a logical view, it matches the Session, User, Account, and Report name and the Job, User, and
Account fields under the heading Report Creator. If a logical view is found, its attributes are
enabled. If a logical view is not found, the user is allowed to view all pages and columns of a report.
Note. Wild cards can be specified in fields under Report Creator. This lets you
reference reports created in multiple accounts or by multiple users in one transaction.
To enter the Logical View Maintenance window, start the VISTAMNT program, enter 9 in the
Function field and press Enter.
Note. This is a VISTA Plus feature.
