Parameters

String viewname

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

A selection formula. Defaults to either:
• 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.

An existing view from which the new view is copied. Defaults to either:
• 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

boolean prohibitdesignrefreshmodifications

• true (default) to prohibit the view design from being refreshed
• false to allow the view design to be refreshed

View

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.
