Rebuild VoV

A VoV should be rebuilt when changes are made to one or more of the source Views used by the VoV.

Rebuilding refreshes the VoV so that changes made to its source Views are reflected when the VoV is run.

When Should a VoV Be Rebuilt?

A rebuild may be needed when you make changes to a source View, such as:

• Updating a filter
• Adding or removing fields
• Changing grouping
• Changing summary values
• Updating other View settings used by the VoV

After making changes to a source View, rebuild and save the VoV before running it again.

Before Rebuilding

The source .vdm files used by the VoV must still be available in the locations expected by the VoV.

If a source View has been moved to another location, the View Path may need to be updated before the VoV can be rebuilt.

For more information, see Change ViewPath.

Steps to Rebuild a VoV

Step 1: Open the VoV Builder

Open the VoV Builder from VDM.

Step 2: Open the Existing VoV

Open the VoV that uses the source View or Views that were modified.

Step 3: Select Rebuild VoV

Select Rebuild VoV.

VDM rebuilds the VoV using the current versions of its source Views.

Step 4: Save the VoV

Select Save to save the rebuilt VoV.

Step 5: Run and Verify the VoV

Open the updated VoV in VDM and run it.

Confirm that the changes made to the source Views are reflected in the VoV results.

Example

For example, if a filter is changed in one of the source Views:

1. Save the updated source View.
2. Open the VoV in VoV Builder.
3. Select Rebuild VoV.
4. Save the VoV.
5. Run the VoV and verify that the updated filter is reflected in the results.
