User Views

The User Views table (ibis_user_view.system) is found in the Metadata Administration module of iTopia. The User Views is a summary view of all of the views that exist in your iTopia environment. This includes all views Personalized by the users and saved using the 'Save', 'Submit' or 'Save As' buttons on the personalization pages of the original view.

• The primary use of the User Views is in situations where the 'system' user wants to remove a company view from the iTopia environment that was created by the system user but cannot because a user(s) has personalized the company view and saved it using 'Save' or 'Submit'.

• Once it is determined which view(s) have been personalized and by whom the system user can contact the users and ask them to 'Restore' the company views. Once this is done, the view can be removed from the iTopia environment. Note: Only views created by the system user for use across the company can be deleted. Company views created by Pointforce Enterprise can never be deleted. If you need to remove a view created by Pointforce Enterprise, it can be removed from the iBIS menu system through the Resource Group Items view and/or removing permissions for the view through the Role Permissions view.
