== What is an Ad Hoc View? ==__NOEDITSECTION__
The Ad Hoc Editor allows the ''ad hoc'' exploration of data - typically the data from a [[Creating MINT Domains|Domain]]. It is meant for users who would like to explore data, as opposed to running a pre-defined report that allows for only little interactivity.
