Syntax

Set notesView = notesDatabase.CreateView( [ viewName$ ] , [ viewSelectionFormula$ ] , [ templateView ] , [ prohibitDesignRefreshModifications ] )

Parameters

viewName$

String. Optional. A name for the view. Defaults to the "(untitled)" view. The view is created even if this name duplicates an existing view.

String. Optional. A selection formula. Defaults to either:
• The selection formula of the template view.
• "SELECT @All" if no template view exists.
If specified, this formula overrides the selection formula of the template view.

NotesView. Optional. An existing view from which the new view is copied. Defaults to either:
• The view checked as "Default design for new folders and views" in the database.
• None if no view in the database is specified as the default design.

prohibitDesignRefreshModifications

Boolean. Optional.
• True (default) prohibits the view design from being refreshed.
• False allows the view design to be refreshed.

notesView

The new view.

If no template view exists, the new view contains one column with "@DocNumber" as its value. The template view must be accessible to the program, so can be a public view or a private view owned by the effective id running the agent, but can not be a private view stored in the desktop.
