Defining Custom Views for Change Association Modes
Administrators can define custom views for the Associated Process Objects and the Associated Reference Objects tables. These views can optionally be shared to all users. Keep the following behaviors in mind when creating custom views:
The Associated Process Objects and Associated Reference Objects views are independent.
Each modeled change object type has its own set of views.
Any subtypes share the same views as the type.
The views for the creating and editing windows are the same views for a given type.
The views on the information page are independent of the views on the creating and editing windows.
You can create a specific view for external change objects. The external change object types and Remote Data Status column attribute are available in the Edit View window.
