The views in CommNet Explorer provide a way to query information on the CommCell components directly from the SQL database. These views are provided in addition to the CommNet Browser Report Selection feature.
You can use the views provided with CommNet Explorer or customize them to reflect the data in any manner appropriate to your organization. You can query the database with Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio or any SQL database query tool. Query results can be displayed through Explorer or you can use products such as Microsoft Excel or Crystal Reports to format your query output.
If you modify a view or create a new view, you must reapply them after each new release.
