QVista Views transform your DataTables into interactive visualisations that help you explore, analyse, and present your data. Whether you need a structured table, an insightful chart, or a fully interactive dashboard, Views provide flexible ways to organise information without modifying the underlying data. Every View stays connected to its source DataTable, ensuring that changes to your data are automatically reflected throughout your reports and visualisations.
What are Views?
A View is a visual representation of data stored in a DataTable.Instead of creating multiple copies of the same data, QVista allows you to create different Views from a single DataTable. Each View can display the same information differently by applying unique layouts, filters, grouping, sorting, or visualisations.
This allows different teams to work with the same dataset while focusing only on the information that matters to them. For example:
- A Sales team can create a revenue dashboard.
- A Support team can create a ticket list grouped by priority.
- Management can create KPI dashboards for business reporting.
- Finance can build charts to analyse monthly revenue trends.
Views only change how your data is displayed. They never modify the original records stored in your DataTables.
Why use Views?
Views make it easier to understand and share your business data. With QVista Views, you can:- Present data in different formats without duplicating records.

How Views Work
Views are built on top of your existing DataTables. Whenever data changes inside the connected DataTable, every View using that data is automatically updated. This ensures your reports, dashboards, and charts always display the latest information.Types of Views
QVista currently supports three different View types, each designed for a specific reporting need.
You can create multiple Views from the same DataTable depending on how different users need to analyse the data.
