Each object definition in TeamConnect has its own system fields organized into system blocks and system views. By default, system views display generic information to all user groups--unless you create and assign custom views.
The following table outlines the major differences between custom and system views in object definitions.
System vs. Custom Views
Custom views |
System views |
You define your own object views. |
You accept the predefined object views. |
The page layout is alterable. For example, you can reposition pages or blocks. |
The page layout is fixed. |
You may use custom fields with the organization-specific information to create blocks. |
Do not use custom fields with the organization-specific information to create blocks. |
You may restrict access to your custom information by creating different object views for different groups using different blocks. |
You may restrict access to your custom information only by category, through assigning different rights. Otherwise, all users see the same blocks. |
While system views may meet your organization's needs for certain system objects, such as Appointment or Contact, you probably need to create custom views for custom objects.
