Dataform Views

Dataform views allow you to control the way information is presented in the Dataform activity.

Common settings

Name

• Enabled: Students can access the view but do not see the view name in the views menu.
• Visible: Students can access the view and can see the view name in the views menu.

Filter

A predefined filter from the Filters list (if any) that will be enforced in the view.

Per page

The max number of entries to display in the view at any given time. If the number of viewable entries is higher than the selected per-page a paging bar will be displayed (provided the ##pagingbar## is added to the view template).
