Hi
We understand a view ending in _CFV is a custom field view used when we’ve customised a screen or table. However we see views with uiv_cfv.
Does anyone know the difference and what these views are for?
A quick look of the construct of the view doesnt show any obvious differences.
Regards
Shaun

Hi,
There are 3 types of views in IFS Application
Base:
Usually, the base view is the view that fetches all the columns. If we have a table ABC_TAB, then the base view will be ABC. The base view doesn't have any conditions it is just select data from the table.
Report:
These views are connected to reports in the IFS Application. Any view created using a table or joining table and views with the name like _REP will be a report type of view.
Alternative:
Views created by adding new columns, conditions or joining multiple tables/views will put into this category. Custom field views _CVFand other views ending with _UIV, _PUB, _BI, _LOV, _LIST, etc; will be considered as an alternative view. Becuase these views are usually created to achieving specific functionalities.

+15UIV views are special user interface views which are created for pages where the usual view can’t be used.
When a view is enabled for custom fields/attributes, a new view is created with _CFV (Custom Fields Views).
So if you enable a _UIV view for Custom, the resulting view will be suffixed with both hence the _UIV_CFV
