Hi, I am using the Essential OS version, and I am not sure if there is a way to create new views or edit the existing ones.

Thanks. :geek:

Yes, you can both create new views and edit existing ones.

Views are XSLT-based reports. An XSL (XSLT) file is a small template that transforms the model’s XML data into the HTML you see in the Viewer.

To create a new view you can:
  • Copy an existing report .xsl and adjust it to your needs.
  • In the repository (Reports -> Report), create a new Report and set the "Report XSL Filename" to your file (path as deployed in the Viewer).
  • Redeploy/refresh the Viewer.
To edit an existing view
  • Locate its .xsl file, back it up, make your changes, and refresh the Viewer.
The Essential University guide “Creating New Reports” walks through this process step-by-step:

Hope that helps!
