Change overviews (views) in InSite

Views are called overviews in InSite and OutSite. An overview displays data from Profit in table format, for example a list of employees or a list with outstanding items.

You have two options for changing an overview:

  • You change a supplied overview

    The original overview is saved. You can still undo the changes.

  • Make a copy of an overview and change the copy.

With both options you can add/delete/move columns and apply a built-in filter.

Furthermore, you can modify the presentation.
