There are two panes in the View Designer window. On the right is the design pane, where you can add, remove, and modify elements. Above the design pane is a series of tabs that let you switch between pages. The pane on the left displays a data tree of elements available for the selected item. You can drag elements to and from the data tree to populate your view.
When you have finished customising the view, you can either save it with a new name or overwrite an existing view. Whatever file you save is placed in the View Manager window with a [[Using the View Manager Tool in IMSMANGHowTo:Publish and Archive Views#View Status | status]] of ''draft''.
