IMPORTANT VIEW TIPS
-
Clone: If you are not familiar with Views, before making any changes to an existing view, we highly recommend that you "clone" the view and try out your changes on the clone version first.
-
Saving changes: All changes you make to your view on the edit page are temporary until you click Save. For example, if you change the sort criteria and click OK in its window, the change will be lost if you leave the main view edit page without clicking Save. We highly recommend that you save your work frequently - especially when you see the message “All changes are stored temporarily. Click Save to make your changes permanent. Click Cancel to discard your changes.”
-
Administrative names and descriptions: It will help you manage and identify your views and displays if you utilize the fields that allow you to add optional descriptions or names
-
Apply options: When working in settings, always change the ‘For’ option from ‘All Displays’ to ‘This block (override)’ so that the changes you make only alter the block (or page) you are working on. The ‘Apply’ button should say “Apply (this display)”.
Navigate to: Structure > Views > uc_orders (Orders)
