1What is Page view?

Page view feature stores unsaved view and filtering data in the database by the Artifact id (Report id, Tracker id etc.) and User id, so for example the user can reload these data after a login-logout from another browser.

The logic based on the Permanent Links feature, you are able to save the current settings of a view (report, tracker etc) without actually saving the view.

The page view feature is available on the following pages:

• Document View
• Document Edit View
• Table View
• Traceability Browser
• Coverage Browser
• Planner
• Tracker Cardboard
• Release Cardboard
• Reports page

To create a page view you just have to modify the view state and click to the GO button. By clicking on the GO button codeBeamer will collect all the settings specific to the current page, save them to the database and it will be reloaded by the Artifact id and User id. Page view save also happen when you resize a column or click into a view data checkbox (outline config, resize column, panel view etc.).

You can delete the saved Page view by clicking to the revert button in the Report or in the Tracker view layouts.

Unsaved warning icon appears always, if the saved view and filtering data is not equals with the Page view metadata.

Special scenarios:

- Report view page doesn't use Page view (but Report edit uses it!), so when you open a saved Report in the Report view page then we delete the saved Page view,

- when you select a preset from the "Load/Manage Traceability Browser presets" it also doesn't use page view and it loads the saved Traceability preset,

- after a layout change from Traceability to Table View or Document View then the Intelligent Table View or Intelligent Document View loads only if it was configured previously. (You must login to see this link. Register now, if you have no user account yet.)

2How long do Page view live?

A page view by default is available for 30 day from the last update. This means that if no one modify the view or filtering data then codeBeamer will remove it from its database after 30 day. If you modify the view or filtering information then the counter restarts from zero.

You can override the default 30 days in the application configuration under System Administration using this snippet:

"pageView" : {
    "timeToLiveInDays": 10
}
