__FORCETOC__

As discussed elsewhere, a [[Current View Window]] contains ''elements'' (tabs, tables, and fields) displaying item's most current and relevant data. The design and layout of this window depends on its template, or ''view'', which can either be the system's default view or a user-created "custom view". This page discusses how you can use IMSMA's built-in View Manager tool to publish your own custom views tailored to your programme's needs.

~~==Opening the View Manager Window==~~ ~~[[File:ViewManager.png|thumb|left|200px|alt=A screenshot of the View Manager window, displaying the all available Victim views.|View Manager Window]]~~ ~~To begin, click '''Customisation > View Manager'''. Select an item from the '''Object''' menu to display its complete list of views.~~ The View Manager window is your starting point for creating and managing views. It allows you to see a complete list of views created for each IMSMA item, along with each view's name, [[HowTo:Publish and Archive Views#View Status | status]], and revision date. It also allows you to [[HowTo:Publish and Archive Views#Publishing a View | publish]] views you want to display, [[HowTo:Publish and Archive Views#Deleting a View | delete]] views you don't need, and access the View Designer interface to [[HowTo:Publish and Archive Views#Customising a View | customise]] custom views.

===View Status===

''draft'' is the status given to a custom view that has been saved, but never published. Once it has been published for the first time, a view can no longer have a draft status. Draft views can be deleted.

==Opening the View Manager Window==

# From the IMSMA Navigation window, click '''Customisation > View Manager'''.

# Select an item from the '''Object''' menu to display its complete list of views.
